    Pasjolie is an excellent prix-fixe restaurant with two menu choices each evening. There is a limited list of wines by the glass -- and they are expensive -- but it doesn't matter because the list is all excellent. This is an exceptionally good restaurant with innovative Michelin star-caliber food and elegant presentation. The service is attentive and efficient. My wife and I were trying to figure out if our investment income is sufficient to allow us to visit once a month; it was that good. In terms of value for price, it is definitely worth it.

    We had to get our own utinsils and our waiter was not very attentive. I ended up flagging down other staff members to help us. He just didn’t seem very interested or maybe he was new and didn’t understand weekend service. We love Zinque and will be back but do not wish to have the same server.
