    Who can tell me anything about this place? The Lovely Dining Companion and I were just invited to join our neighbors there for dinner (seems the neighbors know the owners and we've been invited) and the LDC looked to me for an appraisal. I looked back in blankness: I've never even heard of the place.

    A quick search on LTH reveals three posts, all by way of reference, not review. "...talented chef, Jason Paskewitz...." The menus look interesting without being exciting.

    Has anyone been?

    I've been there once. My friend and I both ordered red meat meals cooked medium well. The colors were different - mine was overdone and her's was verging on the border of rare. Not the best experience for either of us.

    C'mon medium well? You should just order pasta at that point. :D

    Yes. Last Friday night and going again tonight.

    Steak Frites was excellent. Good char, cooked to medium perfection. Tasty beef. Great frites with a crispy exterior and soft interior.
