We were there for lunch today. Suprising how small the restaurant is. I wonder if that's why its so hard to get a reservation there rather than the food quality. Our server was wonderful. We checked in at 2:15 for 2:40, fully prepared to wait and were seated in 5 minutes. Our table for 2 was 1/2 booth, up against a wall and my DH was chair to chair with the round table next to him.
The prix fixe menu is still there and the lunch menu is exactly the same as before. Our server said it was staying that way but the hostess said that would change in September.
We shared a cup of soup which was very salty. We also got just pretzel bread sticks which we had as take-out a couple months ago. They seemed different, richer and somewhat buttery and darker. Good but rich.
We both had the filet, me with risotto, my DH with the sour cream mashed potatoes. They're still there. Those are really rich potatoes, very good but can't imagine eating a whole serving. I am very sensitive to salt and didn't find my meal very salty at all. It was very good.
I asked if there's different grade meat at lunch and dinner and my server confirmed that Canadian beef is served at dinner and not at lunch. I asked if it was Australian beef and she said that it was last she knew but wasn't sure it still was. It did taste like it. In NJ, Australian beef is generally $2 - 3 less a pound.
It was a very good meal, but I don't think the small meal, in a cramped place was worth $28 much less more at dinner.
Really happy I went but won't be going back. Too many other places to try.
