    The food here is always amazing, but the Wed/Thu prix fixe was an unexpected bonus. Both the ravioli and cauliflower soup were off the hook as apps, I’d vote for the salmon for the main (pork loin was good, but salmon was special). And, as you’d expect their desserts are amazing. The coconut rice pudding with grilled mango and the chocolate hazelnut macaron were both over the top. All in a $45- prix fixe in an amazing setting with world class service. I could get used to this!

    Had a team lunch today for nine people. Great restaurant. I’ve been to many places that cannot handle large parties. Everything was flawless. Service, decor, food quality. All top notch. My only gripe is that it is expensive and some of the plate portions looked smaller than I expected them to be.
