 I'd probably describe it as "not great, but maybe worth an occasional
 visit", but I don't think it's gotten noticably worse since it opened.
 I was there a couple of nights ago and found the same mix I
 remembered: a couple of tasty dishes (in particular, the mushroom
 risotto and a very moist chocolate cake), a couple which were
 competent but not particularly distinguished, and a couple which were
 just bland and/or unimpressive (e.g., a nearly flavorless scallop
 appetizer).  There were also a couple of dishes still on the menu from
 my previous visit which I'd need a good reason to ever try again --
 the veal stew on egg noodles, for example, which I remember as being
 uninteresting and fairly pasty.  They've only once served me something
 which was just plain bad (a creme brule which had obviously been
 sitting too long next to a mint sauce, and had absorbed the flavor),
 and that was quite a while ago.

 Since I'm within walking distance I go occasionally, but I probably
 wouldn't travel to it.

 Corrina Mozo (the chef) left to head Truc (in the South End), so it
 wouldn't surprise me; that said, I haven't eaten there since she left.
 It would be too bad, because it's one of my favorites as well.  I would
 assume that if things get too bad, Paul O'Connell (the owner) will step
 in and make changes.
