    My wife and I went to narrative to celebrate our anniversary. It was an excellent experience. We were seated quickly and were give 2 complimentary glasses of champagne when they heard it was our anniversary, The specialty cocktail list was full of interesting choices and the one I chose was really good. Our waiter Ken was appropriately attentive and gave us suggestions which influenced our main course. My wife's sea bass and my braised short ribs were prepared perfectly. The restaurant is open and well lit. There is a large wall with wallpaper that has white books on it. It's really beautiful and we couldn't tell if it was real books or not until we got closer. The noise level was moderate so it was easy to have a conversation. Everything about our experience there was top notch. I can't recommend narrative. any more highly.

    Food is delicious! Perfect for a large group. We went on a Tuesday and there was only 1 server. She wasn't very personable and didn't approach the table frequent enough but her service was mostly timely.
