I have been here twice in the last couple months for the four course meal and both times have really enjoyed it. It is definitely expensive, but I think its really worth the price as youre paying not only for the meal but also the experience. The restaurant is small and has a very cozy ambiance - great for dates,... More

I've come here eight times over several years. It is expensive, but well worth the experience. Food is always fantastic with excellent wine paired to it. food is always unique and delicious. I only wish they had a frequent diners card to encourage more regular visits. Having eaten at "The French Laundry" and "Chez Panisse" in California, as well as... More

I was a little worried about the "surprise" menu---I have become a pickier eater every year since I turned 45---finally decided that I don't have to eat stuff just because everyone else likes it.

At first, I was worried that Hans and Igor wouldn't be able to repeat their initial success. I need not have worried; the food is consistently excellent, the wines outstanding, and the pairings...

Have eaten there three times and every time was excellent - good food excellent wine - chef & sommelier both come to individual tables to describe with enthusiasm the individual dishes and wines. There is a fixed menu which can vary with exclusions for vegetarians, dislikes, allergies etc. A different wine is supplied with each course. A real hidden treat. More
