After reading some of these reviews, I would like to give a recommendation. If you are a picky eater, if you feel the need to accost waiters for a list of ingredients, or if you have intense dietary restrictions....I would say that this place is not for you. You will pay a lot of money only to miss out on the complex intentions of a wonderful chef. Each course is thoughtfully layered, each ingredient equally important. It's a foodie wonderland, and a perfect place to follow your mother's rule of "eat what you're given and finish your plate." The staff is obviously well trained and knowledgable, and the course progression allows for a lovely mix of conversation, wine, and gorgeous food. Lovely!
