Chef's tasting menu. Seminal experience. Chelsea was an amazing waitress. Lindsey was very warm, kind and we enjoyed our visit. The food was next level. Put this place on your bucket list. The talent in the kitchen is obvious. Elegant, sophisticated,whimsical without being pretentious.

Main dining room experience. I’m happy I followed advice and didn’t book outside, not worth it with this heat. We could have easily enjoyed our dining experience at the bar or chef counter. It’s a delicious treat that will leave you satisfied sodefinitely go hungry. We did the 7 course and added the dumplings supplement, it was a lot of food but the broth dumplings wereso fun to eat. We should have ordered the to go cookies at the beginning just an FYU as they take 30 min to bake. A great way toremember the meal at home and share some with the rest of the family. We celebrated our 8th anniversary and had a lot of funhaving a different type of dinner. Parking was easy on a Sunday, not crowded which we loved and oh forgot to mention that webooked 5:30 and left at 7:40 so do plan around that. It takes time but it is gooood! My big con has nothing to do with food. Therestrooms were clean but the handsoap was one of those cheap pink ones that leave a terrible scent which makes you question whyso much attention to food, service and somehow they forgot that? A lot of people don’t care for this but to me that is a hugedeal. I guess My review would be titled be prepared toto spend a couple hundred per person, love the food and bring your ownhand soap. See? Not cool. I’m karening now so I will leave it at that. Kudos to the kitchen and service team, theseturtledoves had a meal to remember. Can’t wait to see what’s the next seasonal menu.

I had such an incredible time here with a large group of friends. The staff was so attentive and kind during our stay (which was quite long) so that is very much appreciated. We were able to add a few dishes to our tasting menu. The dishes all popped withsuch robust flavor and we all left full. Highlights were the yellowtail crudo, mushroom chip, confit duck leg, shiitakeskewers, and the last dessert: Masa tres leches. (This dessert was euphoric, seriously incredible) We had many drinksthroughout the night as well. Thanks for the experience and the flavorful, fresh food!

Food and service were fantastic. The servers and kitchen staff worked together like a well-oiled machine. The only negative was the forced valet parking. (The lot had plenty of spaces, but they all had cones blocking them and the valet would just move acone and park your car in that spot.

Absolutely phenomenal tasting menu experience.I went on a Thursday and sat at the chef’s counter. The service was impeccable. The place was so cute and clearly has a lot of history. Watching the mastery take place in the kitchen was a truly enjoyable experience.I cannot rave enough abt the food, the plating, the flavors and the portions. I left feeling absolutely happy and satisfied. Thanks for having me!
