    The food preparation is a work of art. Our server was so incredibly knowledgeable about the way the plates were prepared. I enjoyed every course. This is one of my Most memorable meals ever.

    The food was cold, the flavours were unbalanced and overly salty. The wine was ridiculously overpriced. The table setting was similar to a cafeteria and not what one would expect from a fine dining restaurant. Overall it was very disappointing and I would not recommend it to anyone.
