Not only was the food good but the service was incredible, and each dish kept getting better and better. Wouldn't have changed anything and will absolutely be coming back.

Just visiting here in San Diego for a couple of months and we usually like to try out tasting menus in different places. For the price per head, the food didn 't really live up to ourexpectations. It was good, but not that creative, and didn 't feel like an experience so much. We 've had $50/head tasting menusin NYC that were so much better. Service was great though, and the staff was really friendly.

You definitely need a reservation even in the middle of the week because the restaurant isn't exceptionally large and it's popular. The inside was classically designedand elegant. Service was excellent, and we happen to go on Wednesday when bottles of wine are half price. We decided to go witha bottle, and we ordered the duck and the striped bass for our entrees. We also got the tuna crudo which was incredible, as wellas the Napoletano dessert which was top five desserts I've ever had at a restaurant. It had an incredible blend of textures andflavors that wasn't too sweet but incredibly dynamic and unique. Absolutely go again. With the appetizer, to entrees and adessert plus a half-price bottle of wine, after tip it was around $215 for two of us. Well worth it.
