Tasting Counter - Somerville

A once in a lifetime experience…splurge and treat yourselfThis restaurant would be at least one Michelin star (my bet is two) if the guide ever came to Boston.A beautiful evening of fresh local ingredients and special indulgences from around the world …stunningly presented and curated.A perfect way to spend our anniversary

It lives up to everything and more. The menu and drink pairings go together like a choreographed dance. The presentation and ambiance is fun and unique. The food is amazing…breathtaking with the combinations, the flavors, the contrast it’s all well worth the money .

The good: beautiful atmosphere. The service was courteous and outstanding. Everything was top-notch quality. I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. You indeed get what you pay for. Most foods are more western flavored (French, Italian, etc… . There were many flavors I never knew existed, so it was eye-opening. It deserved 5 stars, and I highly recommend it!!The not-so-good: I have a heavy pallet. I normally enjoy Chinese, Indian or African cuisines. Unfortunately, western food does not satisfy my tastebuds. Even so, I was not disappointed by this experience because that’s only personal preference!

Great food and drink pairing ?. Very selected as they only seat 12 maximum. Great service. There were a lot of fish and seafood and I don't like them so I let them know in advance. They made a great substitution that still pairs with drinks. Love the drink pairing beer, wine, non alcoholic AND sake !!! With so many courses and only 2 hrs, I didn't feel like I could linger on any course. For the experience, the price is fair .

What a treat! Enjoy 9 delicious, creative, beautiful courses prepared right before your eyes. Staff work seamlessly and are very knowledgeable
