Each bite was worth paying attention to and the wines complimented the tastes very nicely. We drove over from Tiburon and will definitely go back again.

I sat there in awe as he swirled around pulling containers out of metal cabinets and putting things on boilers and toasters and he had in the back table, while he carefully assembled the first course on a beautiful array of 15 plates on the center table. I couldn't describe the food, but what I appreciated the most was his creativity with the ingredients it was a performance and food was art. I got to stay after and ask about how he constructed some of the miraculous flavors and textures in the courses and he was very cordial and open about how he created some of the elements of his food. I will definitely be back to experience his creativity again.

Sophisticated but uncomplicated, the food is absolutely delicious. The wine pairings are fabulous. You leave feeling full, satisfied, and happy. read more Sophisticated but uncomplicated, the food is absolutely delicious. The wine pairings are fabulous.

The larb was very, very hot, but otherwise kind of bland not the tasty combination I usually expect. Green curry was very good, very, very spicy and tasty to boot. Will definitely givethem another go.

The intimacy of a small crowd front row seat of the kitchen in action, not to mention the 5 star food, made this an experience we will never forget.Each course was unique yet they all worked harmoniously together we loved the Japanese and French influences throughout, thecombination of textures and the balance of flavors. I had a hard time choosing my favorite course. We?ve eaten at severalMichelin star restaurants and Michael Warring is definitely a contender!!!
