    We went Django for the first time for my wife's birthday. The table split the brussel sprouts and duck frites for appetizers. Both were excellent. The wine selection was on point. I had the Caesar salad and the wife had the Django salad. I enjoyed mine more than she did. The Django was a little heavy on the feta. We both had the New York Strip Au Poivre cooked to each of our likings. All very well. The server brought a free desert with a candle for her birthday. I would definitely recommend Django for a special occasion.
