Chef's tasting is an incomparable experience. Had the current menu twice and would go a third time, if I could. Looking forward to the summer menu...

The food was very good, but the service was pretty clunky ... our server was very slow to visit our table after we were seated (while other tables seated after us were being tended to), and then there was another long lag before she even took our order. We had to ask for silverware for a new course (which they then didn't bring us; we ended up taking forks from a neighboring table). Hopefully we just got the wait staff on a bad night and/or the server was new and not quite in the rhythm yet.

The food was excellent. With the exception of a service hiccup which was duly corrected by ownership, dining here was a fantastic experience and a great place to celebrate occasions like birthdays and graduations. It also had good options for those of our guests who are vegetarian.
