Our meal here was so amazing. Everything from start to finish was delicious and presented beautifully. It was so fun to watch the chef prepare each course. He was so fun and laughed with us and seemed to enjoy cooking as much as we enjoyed eating the food. We were allowed and even encouraged to take photos of the food. I was nervous about liking the fancy food but it was so nicely prepared with interesting flavors I ate everything and enjoyed the experience. Truly a one of a kind meal worth every penny.
