Requesting a table away from the kitchen in an almost empty restaurant was treated like a major inconvenience. We were told to “wait back at the hostess stand” until they could see if they could accommodate us, even though we had a reservation. I saw two other diners go through the same ordeal. The time before this, the chef actually refused a simple request to remove salmon skin from my order before cooking. These are not overly demanding requests, and should be easy to accommodate. This has always been a great neighborhood restaurant, but their policies are infringing on decent customer service.

                                                                                        Is this helpful?

The (hot) Winter Toddy was delicious and most welcome after braving the arctic conditions outside. My only nit to pick is that because the space is cramped and tables are so close to each other the noise level of competing conversations, clanging cutlery, dropped trays, etc., becomes challenging. Perfect cover for “dark,” secretive conversations; for the rest of us, not so much. I very much miss the outdoor dining space and fervently hope you’ll bring it back in the Spring. Otherwise, one of my favorite places for lunch and dinner.
