| - Perfection. Amazing service from Lee. The food runners gave excellent and poignant descriptions of the food. The bussers were attentive and polite. The ambiance, elegant and comfortable. I love this place. Now, on to the food...
My wife and I chose the 5 course tasting menu for $115. What a deal! Everything was superb...just unreal! The stars of the show, however, were the truffle risotto with chestnut foam, and the beef cheek garnish that came with the "wagyu style" ribeye (on a side note: I don't like the term "Wagyu Style". It makes you think that you're getting something close to Wagyu. And while delicious, the beef here was not even close). We also ordered a side of foie gras rice with our entrees which, while delectable, didn't really have much foie gras flavor.
Since we were just married the night before. the pastry chef sent out a congratulatory "pre-dessert" which, for all intents and purposes, was a snickers bar...the best friggin snickers bar you could ever imagine! Then the actual dessert course came: a trio of seasonal offerings...passion fruit panna cotta, marscapone cheescake, and the ubiquitous Michael Mina root beer float with sassafras ice cream and IBC root beer. Nuff said.
Perfect service, nearly perfect food, and a beautiful ambiance. Love this place.
