    This was, without a doubt, one of the top 5 dining experiences of my life; I told the waiter it was the USA's answer to Noma. Unbelievably creative, visually stunning, absolutely delicious food with exquisite service; it should be on everyone's bucket list.

    Everything we ordered was excellent. Had the crab cakes, calamari, hamburger, and the pear Marguerita. Crab cakes (3) were small but super delicious; calamari was perfection, especially when dipped in the aioli that came with it. And, the burger was absolutely the best, with a huge delicious and juicy hunk of a meat “pattie”. The food came fast and was hot and fresh. Oh, and the bread, served warm and gratis, was delightfully awesome. Overall an excellent experience.
