   Easily one of the best meals I have ever had. The food was amazing. Every single dish was amazing. Service was fantastic without being intrusive. Waiter was phenomenal. The ambience was also exceptional…sophisticated but relaxed. We told them it was our anniversary and they had special champagne glasses with hearts at our table. Will definitely go back again.

   Overall: much too costly for what you get, meal not consistently good throughout each course. Can get better dinners at other prix fixe restaurants elsewhere for half the price or less. Also had the server forget one part of my order near the end of the meal, which was disappointing. For detail: went for Thanksgiving dinner. Had some good but too many misses: 1st course had dry cornbread and "black truffle choux" with almost no flavor; 2nd course squash and burrata were garnished with unappetizing lettuce that tasted like chewing paper; main course had oversalted creamed spinach and wagyu beef drowned in a sauce so strong I could barely taste anything else on the plate; dessert had too much sweet and not enough to cut it. On the other hand, 1st course smoked mussel, 3rd course cacio e pepe, and main course mashed potatoes and brioche were delicious--best part of the night. On the other other hand, ordered a cappuccino and didn't get it, and requested standard table seating and got put at the bar instead. Not really what I was expecting for an experience that started at $195.

   I booked a holiday menu but I am sure the regular service is just as good! I am looking forward to eating here again. Thanks

   Outstanding service. We appreciated the description of all the courses, the ingredients and those not to be overlooked. to be missed. First off, I noticed that the server noted in writing my "deadly" allergy to oysters. The Thanksgiving special tastings was inspired so we now look forward to a "school night" dinner. Oh ! an easy to converse rooms, but maybe someone could fine-tune the play list..... Maybe a task with so many generations, from infants to elders, in the room. DMM

   The restaurant was very accommodating to my dietary restrictions and helped me navigate what dishes to order. All of the servers were top notch and friendly. The food was also delicious - had the kampachi and halibut. Would highly recommend the experience!

   The servers were great and the ambiance was a delight. The food was nice yet at times a touch too sweet. If you are a fan of French wines, this spot is for you. I found myself longing for a California cab. They brought us a

   One of the best meals of my life. Service, vibe, food, cocktail were all impeccable but in a completely not pretentious way. Every bite on the tasting menu was complex and flavorful, that left you considering and thinking after each bite. It was simply SO GOOD.

   Menu is a bit limited but food is excellent in taste and presentation. Just make sure your credit card is working- pretty pricey!
