again - joel takes the cake in being our favorite restaurant. they messed up a little in the beginning because we did not get our usual waiter - and the waiter we actually did have thought we weren't his table. regardless, it really wasn't anyone's fault just poor communication - but i think we got our waiter in trouble. but the food was ... to say it in a non-classy way... freaking awesome. the pavlova is aileen's new favorite dessert. and now, both sommeliers know us. they remembered what we drank the last time we were there! and again, they hooked us up with some free champagne.
