Me, too, I hope they get this place right. As it is, it's much too expensive and there's no hospitality. I like Delage's cooking alot, though, so my hope is that they'll move to a prix-fixe formula or do small plates.

Best, Alec

The food is good and the place is promising — but I found it too expensive. They bill themselves as a wine bar – but there aren't enough small (and reasonably priced) plates to stop in there just for a nibble and some wine. The decor is casual and inviting – but the service and prices are not. I really hope they re-tool the concept soon as I don't know if this place knows what it wants to be yet.
