Hey Sunflower! Maybe you guys should go to some places that serve $150 a head tasting menus and learn how to do it properly? The food was amazing but the service was terrible. I should’ve left when I heard a patron complaining at the table next to us about timing and portions and the waiter explained they had just switched to this style of service to save on food costs and be able to regulate their stations better. That’s the explanation for why you switched to a set price menu. Yikes. The server was what I would expect from a laid back mountain town restaurant, but one that serves $18 hamburgers, not $150 a head tasting menus. Forgetting $18 glasses of wine, having to ask for water service multiple times. She was also completely out of touch with that level of service and was quite rude on a few occasions. She couldn’t really explain what was happening or what to expect, just that we’d be fed well. Ok fine, but provide some structure. If a table of five is expected to pay north of $900 they need to know what you’re serving them to some degree. Some idea of how the meal will go and what will be served when. Most places would explain we’ll start with this soup, move on to salads, then these first course dishes and here are a handful of entrees to choose from and so on and so forth. It’s also obvious they just switched to this style of service. Food was great but not at all served in a way that works for 5 people to share. One dish was a little strudel, passed around the table by us to each have a forkful. You would’ve served the same portion to two people, why not adapt the dish to be easily split between groups of larger sizes? Fantastic food ruined by an unclear concept and a level of service that didn’t match the price tag.

Such a special place and unique dining experience! The food is fantastic, the portions are just right for sharing, order lots of small plates so you can try everything! The owners and servers make you feel like you are dining with friends. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100

I like food. I like drinks. I LOVE good vibes. Coming from a state with amazing cuisine and flavors, I always have doubt in other states. Sunflower blew me away tonight. So much thought and execution to every dish. The wait staff was dynamite. The ambiance was fitting, but Natalie’s flavors rose above all. Thanks for an amazing evening!! Meal type: Dinner
