My brother and I had the pleasure of having dinner here on Sunday, which featured the 7 course menu. The vibe was really chill and laid back. The service was phenomenal and very personable. The flavor of the food was so good, and there was a hint of complexity. We spent time trying to figure out the seasonings or ingredients that made everything so good. For this type of meal, you are getting it at a lesser price than you would in other cities. Definitely try it out.

The most unpretentious high end dining experience in the area. The venue is quaint with seating for about 20. Great choice of music playing softly in the background. I loved the husband/wife team approach. They seem to have the timing of everything really dialed in. They were both very pleasant and took turns serving the guests. The food was very good although the cheese plate with a huge slab of brioche bread was not my favorite course. My favorite dish was the morel with caviar. I also really enjoyed the carbonated pears. I recommend that you give it a shot. I will most likely dine there again.

We have been to many of the top restaurants (Disfrutar, Alchemist, Don Julio, Septime, Single Thread, French Laundry, etc).  The food here is not quite there, but pretty darn close.  Very intimate setting, amazing food, great wine pairings, willing to accommodate my vegetarian wife, great service.  We feel like we stumbled upon a future great chef and that Michael will be doing great things for a long time.

Really nice course meal. Although the portions were small, the flavor and execution was fantastic. I'm looking forward to going again some day. It's a small cozy restaurant so don't expect to be able to bring a large party.
