The food was great, but we were even more appreciative of the service. We have a friend who has a very serious food allergy and the waiter went above and beyond checking and double checking with the kitchen about all the food at the table (not just hers) and making sure she was safe and comfortable. They also helped us secure a table down at noir so that we could move downstairs when we were done with dinner.
