Yes.

I went several years ago, and it was both the most memorable meal of my life, and one of the most affordable (for that type of dining).  It was also a great environment, and very comfortable and "fun".

It is since slightly larger, and the menu has changed (two prix fixe options rather than one), but by all accounts it remains excellent.  The chef still cooks nightly, something you don't see often enough in my book.

Reservations far in advance are absolutely required.  3 weeks for a Thursday back when I went, and I understand it is worse now.
