Amazing gastronomic experience, albeit on the very expensive side, especially when 22% gratuities are already added. Having said that, service was fantastic, we were stuffed at the end of the 8 courses and really marveled at the Chef’s creations. The best part though, were the cocktail drinks and the Granny Smith apple for desert. These two things were definitely worth it.

Absolute treat of a place! My friend and I saw outside for brunch and the setting was fantastic. There were outdoor heaters too. We ordered the mushroom truffle mouse, lobster deviled eggs, niman ranch burger, and the chicken katsu sando. Everything was soooo delicious! The service was really good and we felt very welcome.

Celebrated my birthday here and it did not disappoint. Parking can be a challenge, however, we were told to park in the 2 hr parking and even the loading zones. Saratoga does not ticket since parking is a huge problem.
