Took my boyfriend here for his bday and it was an absolutely exceptional curated experience! The food was 11/10, I would have done the wine pairing but we wanted some Negronis (which were also out of this world.). John the owner and chef, took fantastic care of us and cooked, made all the drinks AND made sure that at no point did our water glass drop below 1/3 empty. The tasting menu was everything and the duck was life changing. I think my favorite though was the dessert which was a delicious espresso custard in a house tempered chocolate shell. Will absolutely be going back!! If you have doubts please go and give it a shot! Highly recommended!!

Excellence in all columns! Food, wine pairings, and service. The baguette rivaled the ones eater in Paris. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

A very special, hidden gem. Located in a very quiet neighborhood, chef Jon gave us a memorable experience and delicious food. Plenty of food was provided for each course and the wine was great. Highly recommend if you are visiting or looking for a great dinner spot.
