I finally made the drive, after I have been recommend to come here for many months, and I was not disappointed. It was two of us, we both had the nine course tasting meal and one of us paired it with wine. it took us about three hours to be done with dinner . Overall without going into too many details, every course was really good except the second appetizer we got served which wasn't bad, but just nothing exceptional. Dishes presentation was a big part of the experience and every fish course was impeccable. the service was very professional and attentive. the atmosphere overall is a little stuffy. I would definitely recommend trying it, but because of the high prices and very formal atmosphere, it is not a place where I would come very often

Insider Tips

Where to Sit

The main room is the epicenter of the action, but can get loud on busy nights--request seating in the patio room for a more intimate experience. Don't get relegated to the small, remote alcove behind the bar.
