| - I ended up here for my birthday and had the fall truffle menu which was absolutely delicious though I must say it might be a few years before I have another dish with truffles in it again.
This is a beautiful place with an excellent bar. The martinis are specially crafted and can be easily customized to meet one's taste preferences
So pretty much every dish I had had truffles in it. Everything was not merely delicious, but decadently so. The amuse bouche was an early surprise in the form of a squash soup in a shot glass followed by a tiny pastry. I had a ravioli, a dish with sweetbreads, a chocolate dessert, and some other things that I cannot recall not because the dishes were unmemorable but because at some point that evening, aided by the tasting wines and martini, I slipped into a blissful food coma.
Given that it was my birthday, I was brought a candle, card, and cookies at the end of the night by compliments of and signed by the chef. It was a nice touch.
In a nutshell: the dishes are artfully crafted and well thought out as are the drinks. The service is very fine; they pull out the stops from helping one in and out of her coat to bringing a side stool for one's purse.
The bill for two people each having a martini, a 4-5 course meal complete with accompanying wines, and an extra dessert was well into the $300s. But well worth it for a special occasion with a special person.
