The entrees were a little uneven. I had duck and it was wonderful but the flavor combinations were a little conflicting. The duck was smoked and placed on top of a southwestern style tortilla mound. I felt that the duck had to fight with the tortilla mound for flavor dominance. My wife had lamb and it was just ok. The lamb was put on top of a strange flat bread that had a "fizzy" consistency when eaten. I can't remember what my friends had but I do remember that they enjoyed it. Also, the presentation of the food was truly marvelous and creative. Last, the desserts were outstanding. I had the best creme brulee ever - and it came with a chocolate covered spoon! The service was slow. We arrived at 8:30 (with reservations) but we were not seated until 9:15. fortunately, there was space at the bar and we could people watch. I get the impression that Theoz is a place "to be seen". We ordered right away but we didn't get our main dishes until about 10:30. They didn't seem to be short staffed - it was a problem with the kitchen. I must add that they realized that our dinner was slow arriving and they were very appoligetic. In fact, they gave us dessert on the house and a glass of very nice port to boot. I would certainly go back. ez
