Exceptional birthday lunch with my son. We chose the selection of caviar 8 different spoons and each one was divine and the contrast was fun! The blue fin toro tartar is the best dish I’ve ever had. And the service was outstanding.

The food was fantastic and the ambience was warm and inviting, especially on a cold winter evening. If I had a criticism it is that the scallops dinner was an incredibly small portion (5 scallops), meaningfully smaller than the other entrees at our table and not enough to fill any adult unless you had a sizable appetizer. It was more of an appetizer size.
