Dinner was on par with most high end dining experiences we’ve had in NY, DC Chicago SF. Texas tweaks on standard dishes were interesting, beautiful plating and added great flavor. Even the crispy skin on the redfish - perfectly smoked crispy flavor balanced out the fish without drying it out. Wine list was above average, if not a little overly tilted to US reds. Could use some Barolos if they go to that price point (plus truffles on those tater tots deserve it) Service was impeccably timed and thoughtful. Only downside to the entire experience was that dining room was less than half full and it’s tucked away in the new Fairmont. Not sure how long this place can afford to keep producing meals at this level and price point, but here’s hoping it thrives.
