Thanks! I've heard mixed things about the food at Saxon & Parole - anyone have a take on that? And what's the crowd like?

I'm looking for a recommendation for a lively, fun restaurant
with both great food and cocktails. Downtown preferable. Not Stanton Social, Beauty & Essex, or The Dutch - although they all fit the bill, this group has been there. Any ideas?

I'm looking for a really unique dining experience for my husband's 40th birthday. We've done Per Se, and the chef's table at Gordon Ramsay . . . I'm hoping for something really out of the box, upscale, for 12-16 people. Ideally, something where it's personalized somehow (like at the chef's table at Ramsay, where you sit in the kitchen. That was fantastic.) Any ideas?
