                                                A new chef arrived, and previously memorable entrees for years are modernized to the ordinary, especially the Beef Wellington, the desserts and the appetizers.

                                                We came here as a honeymoon splurge. We do not regret a penny we spent! We ultimately decided that the Chefs Tasting Menu was worth it and I’m very pleased we did. The food was delicious, the staff was kind and extremely attentive, and they were sweet enough to mention our honeymoon to the chef. (He sent a complimentary chocolate and glass of champagne for us.) Overall, obviously expensive but worth the money!

                                                The escargot was a bit rubbery and did not have a lot of flavor. I had the branzino and that was not very impressive either. The lamb shank and foie gras were both amazing.
