    Food was spectacular! Everything looked exquisite and the taste was amazing. I gave service poor. For a Michelin restaurant, service was poor. Wait staff and hostess dressed unprofessionally. When my husband arrived after I had arrived, a wait staff cut in front of him as he was walking towards the table. Our server got all our meals mixed during every course of the meal. We ordered drinks and the drinks did not come. When we asked about the drinks, server just said bar was backed up but did not go and check on them nor did we get an apology for the drinks taking so long We did not receive our cocktails until after our appetizers. As server explained each dish, her fingers were very close to the food as she pointed each item out. She also reach over us each time she served a dish and filled our water. When dessert was served, we waited for our coffees to enjoy with dessert. Coffee took so long to arrive that we had finished our dessert. Our server left before we finished dinner and failed to inform us that she was leaving so we looked for her many times but was unable to find her. Then, we found out that the server had left and we were left with someone else which was fine, but usually servers inform clients of that before leaving. Food was absolute awesome, but the service definitely could be improved.
