Food was excellent and the service was top tier. The waitress was very attentive and friendly, and seated us next to the fireplace when the patrons left. That was a nice touch because it was snowing, outside, so the fireplace made the ambience nice and cozy.

Truly a great experience. I was told that the Smoke Door restaurant was outstanding and nowadays that could mean on that given night they got it right. But to be truthful it was all and more than what I was expecting. Food was on point, service also. We did the ten course taster menu chose not to do the drink paring as we were driving 20 oz of alcohol is too much for me. I really liked the atmosphere for such a high end restaurant the service wasn’t stuffy and the staff were very friendly and explained the courses and answered all of our questions. Will definitely return.
