Everything was fabulous. The sommelier Stephen was particularly delightful. Even though we only had a cocktail and a glass of wine each, he spent as much energy and time helping us decide as if we had been ordering an expensive bottle or two of wine. Food was all amazing— the amuse vouches were as fabulous as the courses. And the view is incredible. Our first Michelin experience- it will be hard to top!
