    Top quality inputs yielding a delicious set of courses. Inventive and tasty non-alcoholic option (if you don't do the wine pairing). It's a joy not to have worry about what might be in it before taking a bite. The single seating meant you were eating at the pace of all the other tables, which is imperfect, but the service was very well executed. A memorable and scrumptious (if pricey) meal.
