His chicken was good but too salty. Overall, a solid B+. My ceviche had some big pieces of fish and when I pointed it out, the waitress said that is the way the chef likes it...Duh...I was not born yesterday and I do know how to make better ceviche. And the waitress was either drunk or high on something the way she moved...not cool for her or the restaurant.

The dining room was well organized and their open kitchen was a fun thing to watch during our time there. I ordered the 3 course meal with the suggested paired wine and it was marvelous. Since my two other dining buddies ordered additional items, we all enjoyed sharing each dish and having a multi level dining experience with so many delicious flavors. The staff is clearly professional and our visit was superb. Highly recommend for those who love to dine. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Price per person: $100+

We started with the Napa cabbage salad, a bright, crunchy composition that felt both fresh and composed, followed by warm bread and salted butter, setting the tone for what came next. By then, expectations were heightened. For mains, we shared the bacon and onion tart, cod, and the gnocchi. The tart blew us away; the pastry was baked to perfection and let’s just say the bacon portion was highly generous. The cod was cooked with restraint and confidence: moist, deeply flavorful, and finished with crisp skin that provided just enough contrast. The gnocchi, pan-fried and accented with truffle, were rich without being heavy and nearly melted on the palate. We ended with a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie that may well be one of the best in the city. While we don’t drink, the wine program, more than 300 bottles deep, is renowned and reason enough on its own to visit. Add genuinely warm, thoughtful hospitality from Josh and his staff, and this is the kind of place you return to without needing an excuse. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Price per person: $60–70
