My wife took me on my birthday after having watched Carl on Top Chef and became a fan.
The food was well executed and as someone else mentioned, a $150 dinner for two. We had 2 apps, 2 mains, a shared dessert and a couple glasses of wine.
We had the charcuterie and scallop ceviche for apps, duck and venison 2 ways for mains and the "Butter Popcorn" dessert. Dishes were all executed well with the stand out being the venison and scallop. Charcuterie was good, but I prefer the one from Black Hoof and the duck was a tad more cooked than I preferred, but that's a personal preference. Various purees and garnishes and sauces that accompanied the mains were very tasty and all the elements all went together well.
Atmosphere was lively and Carl was doing more walking around directing and socilizing with diners than cooking. Service was attentive and we were well looked after.
It's a good place to just drop by at the bar for a cocktail or two and share some apps if you want to keep the cost down. I would definitely return.
