Before I critique, I'd like to praise the chefs. Outstanding cuisine.

Scroll down for a summary.

I ordered the beef short ribs and my wife ordered the wild boar ragu. These two dishes were absolutely phenomenal. The spaetzle had the most velvety, buttery quality about it that really worked with the phenomenally tender, savory short ribs with that wonderful espresso bite. Lovely combination all around, I highly recommend this dish. I believe it is their specialty.

The wild boar ragu was also excellent. Surprisingly flavorful, especially compared to my short ribs. With it's hint of citrus and perfectly al-dente tagliatelle, it was a big hit with both of us.

While I feel like the food was to die for, the service was mediocre, and definitely not fitting of the excellent food. We received this sad, awful bread about 5 minutes before our food came out to us. Look, I could care less about the bread, but it was bad enough to make me wonder about what was coming up next. I would have skipped it, especially since we received our food shortly after.

Your wine prices are a too high. I really wanted to pair some wine with our dishes, but I couldn't justify it. For the wine offered, you're asking too much. Call me whatever you'd like, it's the fact that yo're charging $9-$10 per glass for a wine that costs $15 retail. Sorry, but I'm not paying $10 per glass for VERY sub-$20 wine.

My main complaint was the noise level. I can't believe how loud it gets in there. I couldn't have a conversation with my wife, sitting directly in front of me. We're both young with excellent hearing, so that's saying something. I am not exaggerating. Put something on/in the walls, it gets way too loud in your restaurant.

-You're getting the food right. You're sticking to what works, and you're doing a great job at it. -Fix the noise issue. I have a feeling that it's just your building. I don't mind noise, but it's just that I can't have a reasonable conversation. It's horribly unpleasant. -Service. Not my biggest complaint, but worth working on. -Wine prices. Look, I don't mean to be cheap, but they're a little bit ridiculous, even for a nice place.

I want to give a 4, but I can't justify it. No matter how incredible the food was, I couldn't enjoy it. The three is only because of the food, which deserves a 5.
