One of the best meals of my life. Service, vibe, food, cocktail were all impeccable but in a completely not pretentious way. Every bite on the tasting menu was complex and flavorful, that left you considering and thinking after each bite. It was simply SO GOOD.

We had a terrific evening - my mother is 84 years old and can't have gluten OR dairy. The restaurant asked whether we would prefer to avoid stairs when I made my reservation - I didn't have to put in a separate request or call... and the server staff was terrific about advising my mom on menu choices that she could tolerate. They offered sauce on the side, provided a second sauce, offered a gluten free option of one of the starters, etc. Chef showed up and commiserated on her usual dining options at the senior living complex where she lives. Really made her feel special, and a wonderful night out for her. Pretty sure she has a new favorite restaurant.
