| - Great new restaurant with lots of potential.
They serve very good food in a nice ambiance. I liked they used fresh flowers everywhere. It has a lot of upscale feeling to it, good place to come for good food.
They serve prix fixe 4 course meals for about $70. Recently added option for wine pairing for $40. All the food served had a nice taste and I enjoyed all the dishes served. I thought about describing each meal but the menu changes weekly.
Ingredients are carefully picked by the chef and I especially enjoyed figs in salad, and ferns used for side of scallops. Unfortunately, when the server server said 15-year aged balsamic vinegar on the side of the strawberry shortcake, I licked a sauce a bit with excitement with my finger but it didn't have the texture and taste of what I know of 15-year aged balsamic vinegar.
When I left for bathroom, I saw my coffee ready, but when I came out, it was still there. I would have enjoyed freshly made hot coffee but the server let it sit for a while. For his credit, he decided not to charge for coffee.
Wine pairing - I had to look at him twice and he asked if we wanted fresh glass each time. Some were good but others were not that good. I couldn't tell that buttery chardonnay he described. Perhaps I don't drink enough white wine to know that. In a way, wine pairing was good that it was only $40 per person, and small amount of wine is served for each meal.
Food was great, server was friendly. I enjoyed the food but next time, I think I would just order a bottle of wine, and not go for wine pairing.
