It wasn't super loud in there as others have said. We did have a reservation in advance but didn't request somewhere quiet.

The portions are not large, so you may want more than one thing, and do expect to drop some cash here. All the dishes are elegantly composed and beautifully presented with unusual edible flowers. Tell your server that you are vegan. The complimentary starter had cheese, but perhaps you could ask for it without. It can be noisy, so make a reservation and ask for a more quiet table.

The menu is a bit different but the essence of the flavors of the original restaurant is still there. The scallop raviolis are a must..the fish was fresh and the human lamb was delicious.

We chose about 8 plates from the small plates and vegetables menus to share amongst four of us and our waitress was so amazing and coursed the dishes out for us from lightest to heaviest. We lovedspending a good amount of time savoring each of the dishes which came out with a nice amount of time in between. Each dish wasso well seasoned and thought out that you could not want for anything else. The flavors melded together perfectly and theplating was just beautiful to look at. It truly was an experience, not just a meal.
