The food is undeniably of a high standard, but the wine pairing could use some careful rethinking. I had four glasses for $125. None of the glasses was exceptional or even notable and the servings were stingy.

Some strange choices in there, too. All the wines were French but no Bordeaux? White wine with bolognese? All wines were either reluctantly light or overpoweringly strong. Food menu was def worth it. Wine pairing let the team down. Pricey for what it was. Service was first class, if a little stiff & overattentive.
