From the OpenTable editors: From a living moss wall and purple banquettes to playful dishes layered with truffles and caviar, maximalism reigns supreme at Ryan Ratino’s MICHELIN-Starred hotspot. His Parisian bistro-inspired menu includes whimsical takes on French classics like a strawberry-pistachio foie gras “gateau” paired with colorful cocktails from beverage director Will Patton.

A good menu but nothing really outstanding or special, what you would actually expect from a Michelin Star restaurant (and its price value).

Everything was wonderful except our server. The server neglected us, although his colleagues helped us out. in the end I just poured the wine myself. The food was delicious.

We were given a great table after I had requested a quiet space in my reservation but it was still a loud restaurant due to the close spacing of tables and the high metal ceiling. The service was very attentive and professional and accommodating The Chef's tasting menu took a very long time, which is good as far as preserving your appetite but was too long to sit in one place (we were there from 6:30-1000) There are 2 dinner entrees on the tasting menus, 1 too many in my opinion or they should be both be smaller portions The wine list is very expensive, with almost no bottles under $100
