We eat at Next about every two months. We make a reservation in advance and always get seated promptly. Service has always been great, and so is the food. We don't drink, so cannot comment on the wine selection. From what I hear at other tables, it appears to be quite a selection. I do prefer to sit in the main dining room for better ambiance , but we have sat in the back room as well.
