    We started with a specialty cocktail and glass of sparkling. We chose sparkling since the up-charge on champagne was a bit silly ($32 for Veuve Cliquot). The Scharffenberger sparkling was rung at $16 a glass and went down easy. We split a fairly large Caesar salad and the house foccacia to start. Very good. My partner had the filet of sole (priced at $36); I the ribeye (priced at $65). Both were prepared well. We also ordered a side of Brussel sprouts since our server said the ribeye did not come with sides. This was a bit misleading. The ribeye was a hearty dish and had artichoke hearts, mushrooms and deep fried onion rings on top. Did not need the extra side which we boxed up and took home. Finished the evening with a warm chocolate cookie. Out the door close to $300 for two. On ambiance, the restaurant had flood lights on indoors. At one point they were appropriately turned down. Then brought back up. It was 6:00 p.m.
