    Wonderful restaurant - great food and top notch service. Only concern was the super different wine ordering process/policy. The wine menu is only online via a QR code AND if you only want a single glass of wine, you literally have to filter through, ask, have them go check (assuming to see if you have a bottle or have a bottle open) . . . if that answer is no, you have to repeat the whole process. For a restaurant of this caliber, I would absolutely expect a more customer friendly process.
