Simply exceptional. The entire team was a delight to interact with; they went above and beyond in ensuring we had a wonderful dining experience. The courses were so thoughtfully prepared, offered unexpected surprises to the palate, and yet very approachable. You could tell the chefs honor the science and joy of their craft. We surprised ourselves in choosing the non-alcoholic drink pairings; they were just as intricate and delightful as the meal. Worth every bit of the price. If you don’t have an adventurous +1, don’t wait—go alone.
