   For a Michelin star this place was very underwhelming. The food was not up to what I’d expect for a fine dining experience and the amount of money we paid. The server was great though, the wine options were great and the food was not worth the price for sure.

   This is what a restaurant of this caliber should be doing: wow you all the way! Kudos to the "brigade", an amazing culinary experience that you do not find everywhere. The price tag is proportional, but still worth trying without hesitation. Not to forget a great wine pairing outside of the usual known path.

   Went for my 53rd birthday. All 9 courses of the food were excellent which isn’t always the case with a tasting menu. We had the wine pairings which were hit and miss, but were worth the extra cost as they did a good job introducing some unique finds. The service was excellent - great job service team. They moved smoothly in and around without being intrusive. I also really appreciate the faint 70s heavy metal playlist in the background. Just loud enough that you could hear when a song that you loved long ago came on and made you smile.
