For a hotel restaurant, 5+ stars.
For a freestanding restaurant of this price range, 3.5 stars.
Surprise Best Part - Complimentary Cotton Candy at end of meal!
I went here on a Sunday night for dinner. All the food we ate was good to great. Downside was portions were smaller than almost any other restaurant we've eaten at. They are almost "tasting menu" sized portions.
For a starter, we each had the mixed salad, which was outstanding. One of freshest, best "side" salads I've ever had. It all comes from local sources, including 4th floor garden. Marinated onion was mind-blowing.
For entree, we both had salmon. It was a perfectly great dish. The problem? It was about 3 ounces of fish. No way it was 4. I mean, it was tiny. Did it taste good? Absolutely. But it felt like it was gone in 3 bites. And for $24, I expect more than 3 ounces. Come on, chef! Don't be a complete cheapskate.
For desert, I had the berry cobler. It was great. Not outstanding, but definitely top 25% of any cobbler type dish I've ever had.
So, final verdict?
If you are staying downtown on a corporate travel budget - GO!
If paying yourself? - Go to happy hour and partake, or maybe go here if not looking for a hearty meal, even at 3 courses...
I live downtown and this is one of the 2 best restaurants downtown for "fine dining."
The other, if you are curious, is Nobuo Teeter House. Which makes District look cheap. Enjoy!
