    This was the best meal I have had in a long time. From the moment we were greeted upstairs to the moment we left, we felt special. We did the tasting menu and I cannot tell you what my favorite was because everything was delicious. Adrien, our server was fantastic, informed, but never hovering. They seated us in a comfortable place and as a wheelchair user, I really appreciate it. The chef chatted with us as we are and again, made us feel special. As who Covid took the joy of food away from for almost a year, it was wonderful to experience it again here. I don't want to go into detail in on the food to avoid ruining the surprises, but try the Cotton Candy Fois Grois and you can thank me later. I cannot wait to go back again, this place deserves every Michelen Star and James Beard award out there.
