From the appetizers through desert, beautiful presentation, service, and palate. I simply love the way this chef seasons his food. Tried a different entre tonight. I had the Wild Mushroom Tagliolini. The use of the black truffle accentuates this dish, but it is not overbearing. One of the best if not best in town.
