The Greenhouse is a medium sized place with lots of wood, a rich blue paint color very nice linens and a wall of windows to the street. The layout has a small elevated section for 3 nicely spaced tables and comfortable bench seating that look into the kitchen and a lower level for the majority of the tables where the tables are more closely spaced but some are divided by spacers. The two portions are separated by a gauzy curtain and a ramp up to the kitchen. Chef Mickael Viljanen has been running the kitchen for 5 years this March. They offer 2 tasting menus, one with 4 and the other 6 courses. A cheese course is a supplement. We chose the 4 course menu. Continue reading
Etto is a small front room with about 10 tables and a second room for a good sized bar and some counter seating. Small tables are spaced closely, napkins are of paper and jazz music plays in the background. For our reservation we were given a 2 hour window at which time you needed to be gone so the next wave could come in. Service is efficient and so this works. Lunch had a 2 or 3 course fixed price menu with multiple choices for each course or an a la carte menu. The wine list also offered a selection of wines by the carafe. We had the 3 course menu and tried to order some different things to sample more of their foods. 
Bastible has been open about 2 years and is fairly small with shared counter-height tables as well as small closely placed tables. They serve only a 5 course tasting menu and do offer wine pairings. On the menu you do get to choose your main course and dessert, picking between 2 options. Background music, lower lighting, a conversational hum, paper napkins and a casual crowd add to the vibe of the place. The service people were enthusiastic, friendly and helpful. They really made it a fun evening.
