| - I went here for my birthday dinner last night and, with the rest of my table, embarked on the 10 course tasting menu. It was a delightful journey that lasted over four hours.
To start, the wine pairings were fantastic. There were some unusual choices that all ultimately paired spectacularly with the food.
Second, the service was exquisite. Attentive, but not in an overbearing way, and everybody was friendly.
The food, which was the star of the show, was all really good. Some of the dishes, like the tilefish tartar and rack of lamb were amazing, with a depth of layered flavours and complexity. Other dishes, like the bison cheek, had a simpler flavour profile, but were still delicious.
Perhaps most impressive was how well proportioned the tasting menu was. I didn't feel either over-stuffed or intoxicated after the meal. I walked out feeling pleasantly full.
The food here is, in my opinion, on par with a Michelin star rated restaurant.
