Everything we had from the3 course $80 menu was delicious and beautifully presented. I have a gluten intolerance so left it to the chefs to choose the entree for us, and we chose the lamb for main and chocolate truffles were the set dessert. Everything was amazing.

Was a nice time and the food and service was really good. I just wish they let us know the water bottles were $9 each. It is normal to expect that still water is complimentary so this was a weird and unexpected surprise…

Food was average and took far too long to arrive, we were advised, due to a large group upstairs. The calamari was more batter than squid.
