Absolutely outstanding delicious cuisine! Definitely pricey, but the quality makes it worth it for the rare adventure of a dining experience. The ten course meal, I was told on my first time here some years ago, is the way to do this and it did not disappoint on the second occasion. The lobster bisque was rich and decadent, the sushi was crisp and flavorful, the meal was well paced for a pleasant time of enjoying company, atmosphere and food served with care for ingredients.
