Stunning decor/appointments. Service among the VERY best. Food not equal to the decor and service. Fancies Asian fusion too much for our taste. Super, tiny seafood canapes each with complex sauce. Shashimi fine-w/ jalapeno, lemon, caviar combo, not so good. Sea scallop outstanding, involved. Two foie gras-cold (perfect), hot (meh). “Rogue du Roche” w/over-“corriandered” orange/burgundy sauce uninspired. 72hour shortribs tremendous taste.

Beautiful decor and faultless service unfortunately coupled with merely good food. Food is good but certainly not meet up to the five star expectation, especially with the "six star" price tag. Save your money and eat somewhere else, twice.

Alex is an absolute gem. I visted the restaurant twice and had a wonderful experience each time. I chose the prix fixe menu and chose Escargot Ravioli to start and Veal with sweetbread ravioli as a entree. The amuse bouche, starter, and entree were expertly prepared and artfully presented. Service was quietly attentive and efficient. The selection of wines by the glass was good with ample variety. Outstanding in every respect. Five stars, five $.

Beautiful room, great service - attention to every detail. The wine list is extensive and well chosen, did think though that considering this restaurant places itself on the highest level that the food, good as it was, didn't quite measure up - not that "WOW"factor that should be there?
