i don't really rank BM as being a great cullinary destination.
I was there, and aside from the somewhat pedestrian dessert (basically flourless chocolate cake, not as exciting as the description), the food was quite good.
Michael Cipollo is a pretty great chef. Not boundary-pushing, perhaps, but he knows how to work well with flavours, and can pair with beer better than most chefs in the city. Like any corporate chef, the food being served day-to-day may not reflect this, but I've enjoyed any meal I've had where he was heading the kitchen.
