Such an experience for the senses! The art in everything abounded with finery. Creative uses of textiles in the decor added so much to the experience. Things never seen, display a level of sophistication not seen in this area. The delivery of servings made a theatrical presentation as each plate arrived! The custom dinnerware and serveware made a lovely impression of distinction. The Ozaki A5 Tenderloin was so wonderful. Prepared to perfection and added with the Wild Mushroom Medley paired so well. The flight of Gelato included a Hazelnut so rich, it was gone in a jiffy. I loved the service. They each gave us witty banter and were very knowledgeable help with the menu. Bravo!
