    Overall a good experience - I think for dinner though it’s a bit overhyped. Food is decent, but really expensive for what you get.

    Food was a solid A but the service ended very poorly. The waiter came with the check cover opened and after I paid he literally dumped the transaction receipt on the table and said “Merci” and left. I gave a 20% tip on a $350 bill so I dont understand the attitude at all…
