| - I feel very torn about how to review this restaurant. My husband and I went here for my birthday and had the 4 course meal. You get to choose two appetizers, an entree and dessert. We had the ceviche, the gnocchi (because everyone raved about it on Yelp), the octopus and a mushroom dish as our appetizers. I had mackerel for my main and my husband had duck. Everything was cooked well. The chef uses lots of different sauces and foam, and lots of unique ingredients. For example, mushroom dish had 4 different types of mushroom, none of which I had ever heard of. The chef came to the table for most of the courses and explained all the ingredients and answered our questions which was nice. We also shared an additional cheese course which was delicious. The gnocchi and the octopus were highlights for us. The ceviche was good, but I've had better elsewhere.
Total bill came to $200 for the two of us with the extra cheese course and 3 drinks, which I felt was reasonable for this type of restaurant. However, we both walked out and were starving, to the point where we had to stop for food on our way home. I have never done that before! If I'm going to go out for a nice meal I want to leave feeling satisfied, so for that reason I can only give this restaurant 3 stars. I would only recommend this place if you are going to splurge and do the 7 course chef's choice meal (i think its around $80). Unfortunately, because I am somewhat picky we chose not to do this.
