    The Christmas Eve dinner is always a hit, but this they seemed to somehow take it up a notch. If they didn't have a seasonal, changing menu, I'd plead for that halibut to be a permanent fixture on the menu. Great service from the host, the bartenders, the server, the runners...Bastille is still nailing it. Oh, and special props to the bartenders. They are real pros who obviously take pride in their craft and not just absent-mindedly throwing ingredients together.

    Food was extraordinary...convinced my wife to try the Wagyu A5 duo (there was a stiff supplement) -- I went with the Confit/Foie Gras app. My app was simply brilliant. Her app made us swoon (yes, I got one taste, but I feared for my life if I tried for more). Main of Dover Sole was very good for me, but the truffle risotto for herself...outrageous! Desserts were masterpieces worthy of photography -- but we don't do that. As always, front/back of the house were top-notch. Recommend Julio and Mark as great servers.

    Maison Cheryl is one of our favorite restaurants and we just popped in for an early bite at the bar and it knocked it out of the park as always :-)  The winter salad with squash and pecans and goat cheese is my new favorite. Hopefully they put it on the regular menu! And had the truffle burger, which I had a craving for and why we went there. :-)  Trowley on an amazing Wagyu burger, nothing more needs to be said. Outstanding! And of course, truffle fries to go with it.. incredible
