The menu was diverse and filled new foods we never enjoyed before. And the food was outstanding. The service was excellent. Our waiter anticipated our every need. He was friendly and helpful and made us feel as though we were his only table. The meal was expensive but it was fine dining. One of the best restaurants we have ever eaten in. And a great choice if you are non dairy.
