    Joyous experience. Our third or fourth time here, fabulous food and service each time. Maz and Jordan are extremely attentive and friendly. The dishes are exquisite and delicious. The Taste of the ocean dish is a must. So good. The menu changes seasonally, with some staples on there year round.

    when we made reservations, they said no substitutions. I was a vegetarian and went with a group of meat eaters, and I didn’t want to make a big deal. but it really wasn’t very much for a vegetarian especially given the price it seems disappointing not to be able to options. I gave most of my food to my friends.  what I did have, was really really nice. Great job to the team! The service was beautiful, but since we didn’t say we had an event to go to after, it was very very, very, very slow. Some in our party were falling asleep since we didn’t get out until past 9:30 having started at 5:30.

    We booked the reservation due to its close proximity to the Davies. The food was fantastic. Each of the 8 courses hit our palates wonderfully different from the previous course. Each tasty morsel provided a multitude of tastes that blended together splendidly.

    Didn’t know there are different themes and it was a fun surprise! Our theme was Alfred Hitchcock movies and loved the explanation of how the dish was inspired by a movie. Everything was delicious and the stuff was wonderful. My husband and I went for our anniversary and received a cute little card and it really made us feel special.
