    Very cool, you had me at 80's music! That's a great deal for a starred restaurant. Honestly, I haven't heard of it, but it's definitely added to my list! As always, an excellent review sir!

      Thank you! Yeah, it was one of those starred restaurants that was kind of under the radar, but it's definitely a spot that I really enjoyed.

    It would have made paying for your meal more charming if they presented your bill with a red paper clip.

    The pasta course is confusing - if the & is a typo, they need to address it - if not, then you lost a course. Either way, I will ask when I eat there in Dec. Thanks for the tips James!

    I _really_ find this guy pleasant and likable, enjoy watching him swing for the fences w dining choices. Dig his verbal descriptions.
    I mean this in a purely supportive way (or I’d never bother): I only wish he’d not make that same facial reaction to each bite all the time; it feels inorganic & prevents me from getting a natural, authentic impression.

    You're a nicer guy than you should be to be honest. Whilst I can understand it being a choice of the two dishes based on how the courses are separated with the lines, it still says '&' which isn't confusing, its just wrong. You also weren't asked. For $90 and a michelin star, you are more than within your rights to expect a hell of alot better than that.
    That said, I won't deny everything looked delicious.

    • @Jamesnu

      I could always go for a dessert of pizza, haha! But I was decently filled up. Although I definitely could've eaten more, there have been other places where I've been left with more of an appetite than my dinner at this restaurant. Overall, I felt like I got my money's worth and really enjoyed the food!
