This uber-atmospheric, casual fine-dining establishment glistens with hundreds of fairy

Obama has dined here, and the regulars won't let you forget it.
Don't be turned off by the price of the mains: there's a bunch of well-priced appetizers
and weekly happy hours are offered. Check the website for details.
