Incredibly unique dining experience. No signs. Have to go thru the bank see the dude sitting on a chair and go to the right. Two options ala carte or the tasting menu. The staff is knowledgeable and will guide you thru the menu. Bring money it’s not cheap but worth every penny.

I ate outside. Gotta say. It’s kind of magical. Had the chicken parmigiana. Was quite good. Dessert not the best. Chocolate cake. Was dry. Server had recommended their key lime pie. Should have listened to her.
