This was one of my all time favorite meal experiences. The plates are hand crafted by an artisan in Peru, the knives are Ceccaldi and the atmosphere is warm and non pretentious. The sommelier was so patient and knowledgeable and he knew exactly when to pour. Our waitress was so friendly and took lots of time with us.We shared tiger shrimp in a delicious sauce with bone broth. My sweetheart had a beautiful filet with parsley puree, garlic and mushrooms. It was perfect. I had monkfish barbecued on the bone with a yellow wine sauce and harissa. It had shallots and small tender fungi with gorgeous currants and spinach. We also shared roasted eggplant that melted on our tongues. We planned to eat dessert, but we were perfectly sated. The restaurant is named after Elmer the elephant. This is truly a culinary gem. Make a reservation. Keep your reservation and enjoy a perfect experience.
