| - This is it. The experience I've been waiting months and months for, and it did not disappoint. The food hit every mark. Everything was fabulous. The service was spectacular as well, and really put this place over the edge into true brilliance.
As others have noted, there's no menus, only a blackboard with all the offerings of the night. But our server walked right up to us, sat on the bench next to me and said 'what would you like to eat tonight?' Making it clear that they were here for us, to make our night perfect. We answered that we didn't like making decisions, that we aren't picky, and really want to experience this place as it's supposed to be experienced. She was ecstatic and brought us several courses with different beverage pairings. The whole meal was custom-made.
A raw seafood platter, a plate of raw root vegetables with lobster and a zucchini flour croquette filled with smoked eel (the dish of the night), quail with sour cherries, porchetta, and a berry dessert concoction with a meringue (now one of my all time favorite desserts I've had). Spectacular from start to finish. All dishes I wouldn't have thought to order. That's why I don't like to choose. Trust them.
For two people, including beverage pairings, food, tax, and tip, the meal was about $336. A frakkin' steal, if you ask me.
A lot of people just order the lobster spaghetti. As such, it's always on the menu. You don't come to a place like this to order that. I'm sure it's good, but it's the indulgent meal you expect. Try something new.
