Food, service, value and ambiance were outstanding. My only issue is that the Restaurant Week menu at the restaurant differed from the one on its website. The waiter indicated that it was an old post. Time to get it together since the website menu was what drew us to the place. Nevertheless, the food was creative but not outlandish and the drinks and wine selection were reasonably priced. This restaurant is a keeper
