The menu is degustation style. We chose not to read what it is and trust the chef. The presentation vessel of the dishes was stone plate or solid ceramic bowls. They look very Japanese or French and in very fine condition. All of our dishes had a seafood focus but one which was venison. The food was mostly similar with some fine dining style portion of various ingredients put together either among some foam some broth or some soupy content. They were all fresh and quality ingredients but somewhat repetitive with the meals being about a series of bowls with everything floating in some form of liquid. The texture was identical and the taste was very similar. The fried bread at the start was not soft or warm and was in fact almost like a scone that failed to rise. I wish there was more that I could praise for and look forward to a very dynamic and diverse experience in a great dining spot. Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4
