    Reserved bar but given available table (no backs on bar stools). Setting surrounded by windows amazing. Service was attentive, professional without being intrusive. Had cocktails and asked if we were ready to order - many restaurants start bringing food when cocktails not finished. This is fine dining at its best. Thoughtful prix fix 4 courses. Highly recommend. Keep in mind that this is a meal prepared by a celebrity chef and staff at a very high professional level, so the price reflects this.

    Great restaurant with creative tasting menu. Impressed by food, not so much by wine (a la carte wine would work better). I would also make dessert optional - this was too much food!

    They have prefixe menus that change by the season and loved the spring one. The food is light, flavorful and thoughtful. The portion sizes don’t seem large but they are filling!

    Really strange and not particularly good combinations - cod paste on sourdough with sliced bananas? Weird food. Not good weird. Very disappointed.

    we had heard about Monncusser for a long time and were happy to have a special reason to go there. It was an unforgettable meal - beautiful and delicious food and excellent and interesting wine pairings, all delivered with outstanding service. We would highly recommend. The only less than perfect note was being seated next to a loud table - which is not the restaurant's fault but still affected our experience to some extent.

    The food was great (surprising amount of tropical flavors--delicious), service outstanding; Had dinner with my family (including two teenagers, who also liked the food!); favorite part for me was the wine pairings. I am in the wine business, and have a pretty high standard for these things, and most wine pairings are boring, and not actually paired to the food. You can tell (and taste) that a ton of thought/exploration went into these pairings, and it was a delight (and so reasonable). Learned about new producers/wines and everything was delicious. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality!
