    This was FANTASTIC! We went for the special Hanukkah prix fixe dinner featuring Olio Nuovo olive oil. So delicious. Standouts were latkes and brisket with brussels sprouts. Out of this world unusual pistachio dessert. Very elevated meal.  Nice surprise twist on what I thought would be more of a traditional dinner.  Would return for a meal like this 10 times out of 10.  I hope they continue with other Sunday night dinners.

    The entire experience was incredible. There were five tables of two that were nicely spaced apart. There was an open kitchen so we could see the four chefs while they prepared each course. The three servers and Sommelier were top-notch. We loved the ambience and the food was amazing. One of the best Michelin star restaurants we’ve been to.
