    The restaurant is very pretty but I thought many of the dishes were too salty.... only one bite of the $235 pre fixed meal that I really liked (and that doesn't include wine or tip). The service is very good its just to pricey not to be hitting it out of the park food wise.

    We arrived late afternoon on a rainy Saturday and few people there and quite dark. By the time we left, completely different vibe as it really filled up. Food was excellent. Hardly ever can I get shrimp and grips w/o park but here I could and it was delicious. Service outstanding. Looking forward to going there again. It’s right next to Roslyn Metro where the Farmers Market is held.

    Had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and the service was great. We sat at the counter and were able to watch the chef make everything. Since we went on a Monday, wine was market price, so we enjoyed the salmon special and pork chop with a bottle of wine. Too bad they're closing the restaurant portion, because we would definitely go back. Looking forward to taking some cooking classes there though!
