I expected perfection, and it was only a little better than that. WOW - one of the best meals I have had anywhere in the US. We enjoyed the tasting menu, and out of all 12 courses, there was not one we didn't enjoy. And, they did exceptionally well accomidating our various dietary needs. Can't wait to go back.
P.S. the semi-private table is cramped in the corner - stick with the main restaurant or the chef's table (which is right in the kitchen

The Mother's Day Brunch was out of this world. Attention to every detail was over the top. Homemade english muffins with lobster starred. The desserts combined sweet/ savory with totally unusual and delicious from concept, to preparation and presentation.

New Year's Eve: Our only qualm was the fact that the meal focused a bit too much on acids, citrus, and savory game meats rather than combinations incorporating any type of sugar or sweets. A greater variety of tastes would have helped round out the night, as I cannot recall any sour or sweet components, but this may be our own faults based on our choices.

A fine place, deserving of the Zagat ratings. We loved it. But on the Michelin scale, this would rate one, maybe two stars. It is NOT a three-star experience. There are MANY places in the world better than this.7/09 has moved since we last were there; every bit as good, or better. The summer degustation menu was superb. two stars -- Dec. 2012, with my wife and a friend/gourmet; fabulous -- still two stars
