We have eaten caviar service here for years and it has always been amazing, last night we combined caviar service with a number of a la carte items - every dish was outstanding- the meyer lemon foie gras, bluefin tuna & golden egg, stunning amuse bouche and a beautiful puligny-montrachet. Service was top notch and we can’t wait to return - thanks to all the staff for making this a night to remember

Food was great. Almost everything on the menu was gluten free which was amazing. The place is very nice inside, but we were sat in a dark area which was a little hard to see. Also a little hard to hear each other talk from the noise of other people seating close to us. Service was decent.
