The Drill is our favorite and we have never been disappointed. Something different and fantastic every time. You have to take whatever the Chef makes which is really cool to experience and not know what is coming. They even pair a wine with the different parts of the five course meal, we have found many new wines that we now look for that we had never tried before doing the different Drills on several occasions.
