Pleasant, attractive, atmosphere (try to sit in the back room with the hanging padded back rests -they absorb some of the din restaurant designers seem to think is necessary), friendly staff, good food (but tiny portions), everthing a la carte. The menu seems to indicate that some selections are accompanied by side dishes or vegetables but you need a magnifying glass and tweezers to find them, -- and those items need accompaniment.

And silly:  Ever try to eat with brass chopsticks?

Generally agree. Try to go with a lot of people and share. We had the lobster, the cod, venison, duck, and chicken dishes. Our favorite was the duck. Second was the cod, served with a peppery sauce. Venison was somewhat tough.  Chicken just OK. Lobster is lobster. Also, get the black plate appetizer tray.

Hard to get reservations, even on a weeknight.
