Maxwell's Silver Palate

I spent only a brief time at Maxwell's last night. The new restaurant going in just a few doors down from me was crazy packed on its opening night celebration. I saw many many familiar faces--bankers, urban dwellers, arts leaders, politicians, journalists. It was a "see and be seen" kind of event, but unfortunately I couldn't see any easy path to the bar. It really was crazy packed.

Its decorations seemed to fit the mood well. I think the big windows that look out onto the street will be a great place to sit and look out.

I can't say much yet about the place yet because I didn't sample any wares. But I do know that I am excited to go back when they actually open up. I'll also send you over to Spew, where Ron has posted a bunch of pictures from the night.

Looking forward to their their actually opening, which should be within the week ...
