Saturday night is slow. GREAT! During the week, Nash is, er, lively. I'd rather not shout across the dining table. But everyone else, post work, is OK with it.Great choice of food. Imaginative. Well executed. Best steak I've had in years. Short but interesting wine list, including bubbly from New Mexico! Friendly yet professional service. - Paul Lavin
