Oh nice! Happy to be of service, heh.
It was really good. I also got the hanger steak, which I liked a lot. H got the pork chop, which he said was really awesome.
I can't really compare it to Menton, though, since we did the tasting menu there and just got the prix-fixe at No. 9.

My husband got it, and I had a bite. It was good, but I wasn't OMG in love with it.

We were actually talking about Menton vs. No. 9 last night, and we both agreed that food aside, we preferred Menton. I haaaaaaaaaaaaaate being crammed into a restaurant, where you're sitting on top of people and listening to their conversations. Plus, those tables for 2 are so small, so there's never any room on the table, between all the plates and the bottles and glasses. It was a lot louder in there, too, which made it almost impossible to have an actual conversation. I thought the service at Menton was a lot more seamless. But it could have been an off-night for them, too, and there may just have been loud people there that evening.
