A splurge but we were so happy with our meal! We did one pescatarian and one omnivore tasting menu and every bite was superb. The aged Parmesan + balsamic and fois gras supplements were phenomenal as well. Thank you Sarah for outstanding service! One of our favorite meals in Seattle in a very long time.
