    Overall, it was a great experience. Arrived at 430, I didn't realize the restaurant wasn't open. They said they were not ready, obviously, so I went for a walk. As well walked past the restaurant, the lovely host came out and grabbed us to enjoy a cocktail inside. Cocktails were lovely, all the staff were lovely. Peter? Our server was fantastic, and the host, I can not remember his name, would be my first hire to host any of the restaurants I run. Everything was high-end, rich and elegant and not an ounce of stuffy, snobbish feeling - which I hate about most fine restaurants... great job, folks! No glass was ever empty. The food was superbly fresh and fast! For only being open 2 weeks, everything was perfect. I can't wait to see what this small, elegant little restaurant has in store.
