We finally got a reservation! Our verdict: the same (high) quality as Mother Wolf and very similar food, but harder to get into.

Also I thought the swordfish was overcooked. I like it juicier with a tinge of pink in the center. The thin cut may have made that impossible though.

:grimacing: oops… but he does appear to have shed a few pounds!

I saw him at Funke a few weeks ago and also noticed that in person he appears lighter both literally and figuratively.
