Most disappointing dinner I have had there. Been dining there many times and was surprised how average it was. I had the steak and it was tough, chewy & fatty. The asparagus was good, but the mash was tasteless as was the grilled onions. Very lack luster.

Excellent service, thank you! Tasty food options but smaller portions. The dessert was a little disappointing bc the brownie was more so a cake than a brownie.

Excellent service throughout the meal. I had the August tasting menu, other guests had the rabbit pappardelle and the embered eggplant. All was excellent. Our server was also bartending and would jump back and forth between stations. He was definitely busy, but the service remained attentive and friendly throughout. Because we didn't all order the tasting menu, there was some brief waiting for the other guests. The server let us know when to expect their dishes and the flow was smooth, with only a small delay for the desserts with the (excellent) donuts ready on the counter waiting for my (also great) panna cotta. Overall a wonderful dinner and I look forward to returning again. *Amuse Bouche: A tart(?) with creme fraiche, chives, caviar and more. Off to a delicious start. * Chilled carrot ginger soup: A refreshing start with citrus and slight spice from the ginger. The guacamole and Cilantro added a great texture. * Lightly grilled kanpachi: Least favorite of the night but still enjoyed it. Mild fish with mild tomato water, plus very strong serrano chile felt a little unbalanced. * Wood grilled spiny lobster: Loved everything in this dish, lots of rich sauce, chunky veggies, flavorful corn and delicious lobster. * Black garlic jerk braised pork short ribs: Amazing. The brussels sprouts slaw went perfect with the short rib, the curry potatoes were tender and full of flavor. * Saffron panna cotta: Delicious! The bright fruits, slightly salty pistachio dukkah, and shortbread all combined with the panna cotta made for a rich but refreshing end to the meal.
