Tasting menu highly recommended. An abundance of flavors. Service from Enzo and the rest of the staff was outstanding. Wine pairings were excellent, complementing the meal. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and engaging. It's amazing to me that Michelin hasn't awarded the star yet.

had the best experience - solo Saturday night. Had 2 small plates, and one a la carte George vegetarian dish, as well as both Secrette desserts and it was all exceptional! The staff were very warm and attentive. They helped in my choices and I couldn't have been happier. The mango mule tied it all together. Do not miss the gnocchi and the beigne. The decor and atmosphere, and leafing through the Hunt Slonem art book made for a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
