| - This was definitely a special night and not the place to go if you want to save money. Even though there are so many small plates and options, everything looked, sounded, and smelled too good to stop eating! And I really appreciate the fact that there's a celiac friendly (gluten free) menu, and a dairy free menu. Each menu is HUGE and heavy and they handed me 2 of them to compare. So it was quite the juggling act. But there was plenty for me to eat. We tried the foix cotton candy, so unique and surprising. The brussel sprouts were light and refreshing, not heavy or fried as is the trend everywhere else these days. The Asian tacos were pretty amazing. If those were passed appetizers at a party, I would have stalked the waiter for more. I tried the famous olives. Very interesting, but I wouldn't get them again. My friend had the Secreto Imberico (pork) which was out of this world, which them I got jealous and ordered the Waygu beef cheeks. Other reviews may say that it melted in your mouth, NO, THIS melted in your mouth. Unlike any beef I've ever had. They also have a dessert cart of many tiny bites, all beautiful, but we skipped it. No wine. Just the above, including tip, $165? All but the meats were small bites.
The place is stunning and it's a totally open kitchen. But you have to face it, otherwise you're looking at a wall. The staff was fantastic and very helpful. I'm thinking I will save up my calories and go back again at some point. I want to work my way through the menu.
