text: pretty great for the price plus view, like everyone else has said. the menu is very detailed, which i prefer. i had a good sense of what my food would be, and the server was helpful in describing things i was less familiar with (like pheasant).\n\nThe amuse of cheese puffs (whose fancy french name escapes me right now) was perfect - light with a hint of fennel (i think it was fennel) and great.  Crispy Michigan farmstead Artisanal Camembert with Almond Apricot Petite Salad was our appetizer - would've been better wrapped in puff pastry instead of wonton skin, but it was a great bit of cheese and the accompaniments were sized and paired well.\n\nI had braised short ribs as my main, and my goodness were they rich.  the fat hadn't quite melted down the way you'd want it to, so i found myself eating around it a lot, but the portion was big enough that i felt like i got plenty of meat, despite leaving quite a bit. the chestnut spaetzle was probably fine - i didn't care for the texture, but i think that's more me than how they cooked it.  my friend and co-worker loved her surf and turf - i tried the turf offering and it was definitely among the butterier, tastier tenderloins of my recent memory.  \n\nChocolate souffle was a little much richness on top of everything else, but somehow, we managed to eat it all :) the coffee was also rich and fantastic, and came with those raw sugar lumps that i just want to dump out of the bowl and into my pocket for later.  the bill was not unreasonable for what we had once you take the view and service into account.  very lovely meal.
