    Our experience was phenomenal – my mother is a vegetarian, and they completely accommodated her to the point where she appreciated the multiple course meal rather than feeling like an accommodation. The food is balanced, the service is fantastic with attention to detail and the Sommelier pairing is incredible. This is one of two times I’ve ever said that (I am a wine snob). Highly recommended and will be back!
