We went to Rich Table last night for my birthday. The place has consistently gotten buzz since it opened a couple years ago; it was on my mental list of places to try, but I hadn't worked hard to get a reservation.

It's nice. They don't have a dress code and the tables are farmhouse wood. Nevertheless, I didn't feel overdressed in a blazer. The food was quite good. The porcini doughnuts were standouts (a not-sweet fried dough rolled in porcini powder), as was the grilled ribeye.

I wouldn't go back anytime soon; we did the tasting menu and it wasn't cheap. Worth it for an occasion though.
