An elaborate dining experience for a vegetarian. From the finely prepared 3 piece amuse-bouche to the 4-style tasting, the restaurant is out to get the veggie palate to try diverse flavors and cooking styles. The decor seemed modern yet out of place accented with the power scene. The view of the kitchen and the horde of chefs attending to the minutest detail - is quite a sight. Service staff are a little uptight, but allow for lots of privacy.

EXCEPTIONAL! We tried as many appetizers, entrees and desserts as we could consume.. One of the best meals I have ever had anywhere in the world. My compliments to the chef and staff!

perhaps the best dinning experience in the US. phenomenal food. phenomenal presentation. impeccable service. they've done an amazing job w/ the space they have, but it could be in a much cooler building. the kitchen integration with the dining area is one of the best I've seen. top notch.
