Had burger, lamb and a drink with Hog in the name. Ticket was about $100 without tip. The drink packed a punch - red wine floating on top of a whiskey - and it was delicious. Fries with burger seemed stale, burger was thick and juicy. Lamb was tasty and had a delicious puree along with nice plating. Staff was attentive and polite. Would go back.

Outstanding artistry in food and presentation. We enjoyed a 12 course meal and were thoroughly entertained. Each course built on the previous like a wonderfully crafted novel. It was truly an enjoyable, flavorful and cultural experience.
