    The food was a revelation, as ever. The salads were bountiful and creative. Our main plates -- the chicken and char -- were succulent and profoundly fulfilling. The only element eclipsing the food was the service -- exceptional, as ever, led by Nathan.

    Really, a Gem for lunch as that’s when we went. From being received for our reservation to how seating was handled to presenting and payment , all were just first rate. Food explanations from the well thought spring menu were thorough but succinct. Recommend the turkey meatloaf greatly and have beignets at the end. Loved on Downing Street for nearly the octet and this was my first visit. 🖼️🎬🎥✍️👀

    Thank you so much for this wonderful summation of your lunch experience with us, Bruce. Sounds to me like our team took great care of you from start to finish. We appreciate your kind words on our spring menu, and thrilled to hear you especially enjoyed our Turkey Meatloaf. It's one of chef Joey's favorites too! We hope to see you again soon, neighbor🦉✨
