    The food was phenomenal. The server was terrific. Unfortunately, fine dining is expensive and you can get similar quality food (perhaps a slight notch less) at half the price at other places.

    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.
