We love it here! This was our second time, a year later and the menu has been taken to the next level! The bison carpaccio was unreal! From the drinks, to the oysters and meals, oh and the tirrimisu was to die for!... everything was spot on perfect. We can't wait to be back again!

The tasting menu food and our server was outstanding as always! The food is pricey and it's fairly loud in there but it's worth it. Highly recommend!
