Sublime experience with friends. Somehow this place manages to hit it right on all three fronts... superb ambiance, superb food, and superb service. Can be a little noisy when packed, but hey... what place isn't.

The Girl and the Fig ... first course was a cross section of 3 different kinds of radishes with anchovy butter and sea salt for dipping. We had martinis with that. Next came champagne (Roederer) and a cheese (sheep's, goat, and cow), baguette and salami plate. After that we had an unbelievable mac and cheese with our chilled white wine - sharp cheddar, fontina, and truffle oil with fresh bread crumbs baked over the top. The main course was duck confit and pork chop and finally dessert of profiteroles. It was a long drawn out event lasting til 11pm. service was impeccable and the setting/weather up there picture perfect. the proverbial 'worth writing home' story, except i'm telling it to you!!
