Everything we had, including cocktails, was delicious. The cheddar & thyme biscuit and the foraged mushrooms were particularly good. Our only complaint was that we ordered 4 small plates and apps and asked that they arrive staggered so that we could savor and enjoy them. Instead they came out too close together and we felt rushed.

I have rarely had a meal at a restaurant where every single thing I ate or drank was delightful. Although the menu listed some arcane ingredients, the chefs here are expert at putting them together beautifully. What a wonderful, wonderful meal!!

We had an amazing experience at the chef counter. The menu had a lot of variety and stories behind each dish. They were also willing to accommodate allergies and preferences. The chef was super personable but the server was not as much. It didn’t affect the experience at all- we still had an amazing meal and plan to go back.
