The name of this restaurant is an acronym, which means fall, winter, spring, and summer because the menu changes with the seasons. Last night, I enjoyed the 6-course tasting menu (62€) and each course was as delicious as it was beautiful. Although they don't officially offer a wine pairing, they were kind enough to offer us half pours of different wines with each dish. The service was friendly, relaxed, and informative. I'll definitely return to experience a different seasonal menu.
