    In today's world even finding fine dining is not what it used to be. We are 73 years old and have been "bucket listing" the highest rated restaurants we can find . . . . this was one of them. What makes this experience, at this restaurant worth the price? Even before mentioning the cuisine I must mention the world class service. Things are done to enhance the meal that are so good as to go almost unnoticed . . . . and the three or four or five people who helped were not only fantastic servers, but honestly friendly. The food (all five courses before dessert), as well as the Somaliers' choice of wine were simply nothing one can find anywhere else. To address my first thought though, I fully understand the need to have a setting conducive to more patrons and more noise than one is used to expect. This place should be around for quite some time. The atmosphere was well controlled and light. Thank you (by the way; we flew over 2000 miles to dine). J n D.
