Loved everything about this experience. It was more of an event, a food experience than just a dinner. We loved being able to talk to the chefs about the planning of the menus, their sustainability measures, and their local sources. Everything we tasted was surprising and delicious and beautifully presented. Being able to see the preparation was so unique and interesting. We will definitely go again!!
