Unfortunately it was not. This was in February, 2010 while I was on VG researching the geology book. There were several couples in the main dining area all in sports coats and cocktail dresses. The matre'd sat me in the far corner of the room on the left where no other customers were seated and left me for about 20 minutes. I will not go into the service here but the filet of sole in parchment was excelent.

It may have been a private party in the main room. I don't know, but the experience left a bad taste in my mouth. In 12 years on TTOL this is the only negative comment I have made about any restaurant.
