The cuisine is a very high quality Michelin standard. The head maitre d’ was professionally dressed and excellent. The assistant maitre d’ needs to pay attention to dress and hair style. The waiter was very good. We were seated outside. Halfway through dinner service a couple with a very large labradoodle was seated across from us. The odor, pet dander, and whining from the animal almost ruined the dinner. The waiter and maitre d’ quickly reseated us to a quite elegant corner inside. That completely transformed the dining experience. Be cognizant of pet owners and animals allowed in the outside dining area.
