    I dined here and enjoyed one of the experience dinners. This one was in collaboration with Oliver McCrum wine and spirits. The menu was absolutely so fresh and delicious, the drinks were perfectly paired with each course. I would order every item served. The service was absolutely fantastic and it really felt so special. Chef Jose Salazar even came and interacted us throughout the night. It was truly special and would enjoy another experience like this in the future.

    What a treasure! We had a lovely dinner in the enclosed patio area. Eveyone found dishes suited to their tastes and there was not a morsel left on any. Mine was lamb chops which were perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. We shared the charcuterie board which was overflowing with all high end ingredients. Service was the best. I wish I remembered our waitress's name. She was truly outstanding. Possibly the best part for me was that the chef made a special birthday dessert based on my husband's request for lemon meringue pie. Absolutely superb. Thank you!
