We booked the reservation due to its close proximity to the Davies. The food was fantastic. Each of the 8 courses hit our palates wonderfully different from the previous course. Each tasty morsel provided a multitude of tastes that blended together splendidly.

Didn’t know there are different themes and it was a fun surprise! Our theme was Alfred Hitchcock movies and loved the explanation of how the dish was inspired by a movie. Everything was delicious and the stuff was wonderful. My husband and I went for our anniversary and received a cute little card and it really made us feel special.
