The crab ``sandwich'' is especially good, essentially crabcakes wrapped in nets of crunchy potatoes. Good winelist too, strong on rustic French stuff. A tough reservation, and service is conscientious, if slow--I'd probably go after the show instead of before it. I don't think there's a dress code per se, but all the men did seem to be wearing sportscoats, though mostly without tie. >I was just wondering if anyone knew about 160 Blue.

160 Blue
My wife and I were there on Saturday night. The food was fantastic and the waitstaff friendly and helpful. $125 for two including a bottle of good wine. (LEAVE ROOM FOR DESERT!)
