As I said on FB, you hit the nail on the head. If I hadn’t read that same review–if I’d come to the menu cold, as it were–I’m not sure at what point I would have figured out the theme. (And if I’d come to it cold before I moved to New York, I probably wouldn’t have gotten it at all. It’s like Seinfeld, which also only made sense after I moved here.)
Also in full agreement on the food itself, though there were 1-2 things I thought were a bit over-salted for my taste. (I almost never use salt, and use little when I do, so that’s a matter of my own palate probably being set on a slightly different scale than most people’s.)
I also enjoyed the company. When’s the last time we had a four-hour conversation? Never!
