A beautiful gem, tucked away in a Georgetown alley, with exquisite service! The dishes were excellent, with the exception of the main course which had a delicious sauce but the fish was not. The best of both beverage pairing was very unique and delightful - the pairings were spot on and in some cases a surprise! Overall a great experience and wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion.

Had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and the service was great. We sat at the counter and were able to watch the chef make everything. Since we went on a Monday, wine was market price, so we enjoyed the salmon special and pork chop with a bottle of wine. Too bad they're closing the restaurant portion, because we would definitely go back. Looking forward to taking some cooking classes there though!
