We came here at the recommendation of a trusted friend and eagerly anticipated our meal while seated at the bar. I like a bar seat with a sightline into the kitchen and enjoy watch the dishes being prepared. I am a visual person and seeing the finished plates inspires me to ask questions and discover what is in each dish. I love that the menu is limited to under 15 items - a sign that each dish is carefully curated and prepared. Luckily, we sat near one of the owner/investors and he gave us his insider recommendations on how to pair our foods. It was a terrific experience to get inside the mind of the chef and listen to his story on how he selected the menu and the inspiration behind the pairings. Oh and the food... 5 stars! Cocktails were not bad either :)
