Top to bottom one of the best fine dining experiences we’ve had in a while. We opted for the a la carte seating at the bar and it’s debatably the best seat in the house (5 of their total 31 seats). The Toyosu fish of the day to start was divine and a great lead to the rest of the meal. We placed the entire order at the beginning and they coursed it out for us as great pairings of 2 or so items. The explanation that came as each dish (and cocktail) was presented was very informative and curated, and added that extra level of hospitality that goes beyond just “food service.” We were able to chat with the Chef as he worked on what felt like 100 plates without losing focus, and the communication and efficiency between the entire staff was on full display!

Outstanding. Far and away the best meal we’ve had in a long time. Christy Hill was recommended to us by a top chef who worked in area restaurants for 13 years — and he was right. Beautiful setting, lovely presentation, and absolutely delicious. Toques off to the Christy Hill chef and staff!
