      Food was amazing. The bread one of the best I had. The apricot harissa, incredible, the carpaccio with so much flavor and fresh, the yogurt curry fantastic, the Meyer Lemon desert to die for, not suite and tangy enough. Fantastic service and the place is very nice.

      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!
