atmosphere was nice; simple yet refined. food was delicious, the platters the food was served on were rustic beauty, the people who served the food were really genuinely friendly, the folks in the kitchen were pleasant and generous and seemed to really be enjoying themselves (we sat at the chef's table), the owner came by to check if we were having a good time... the desserts were visually stunning and very complex yet comforting. i was like, man, they have their stuff tight. really a memorable dining experience
