Terrific tasting menu experience. The kitchen nicely accommodated a couple allergies. The progression of dishes was wonderful, with an evolving theme that stitched together the evening. The presentation was amazing. The dishes were as beautiful as the food was tasty. The wine pairing was nicely structured with delicious, hard-to-find choices.
