    Chef Gary Menes works a miracle in his three person kitchen where you sit at the counter and watch the meal evolve. Be aware that there is an only one seating at the counter and that all diners your evening must be present to begin the meal. The restaurant only seats 11 max per night and is located in the historic Hotel Normandie in K-town. Each course is beautifully plated and although all gourmet vegetarian inspired, the beef substitution was amazing. The wine pairings with each course inspired. Amazing, memorable meal!
