Oui c'est dispendieux mais: - les ingrédients sont d'une qualité rare. - le service est excellent. - la cuisine met la barre très haute avec leurs recettes & une exécution irréprochable. - on n'a pas faim quand on sort contrairement à certains autres gastronomiques. On reviendra c'est sûr, pour les belles occasions bien-sûr.

Had the tasting menu & was blown away by all the food. Some plates were definitely better than others, but they were all very tasty. The amount of food is really good even if this restaurant is on the pricier side, but price is justified by the quality of ingredients. The service was impeccable. I'll be back.

Small restaurant serving a handful of guests some 5-star dishes made with premium quality ingredients. Simplicity is what makes this place special. The ingredients are the stars of the show. They're not trying to hide some supermarket grade scallops with a heavy creamy sauce. Service is excellent & the desserts are surprisingly good. Worth a detour.

Jordan & Jessica were amazing, so much attention to detail & made a wonderful romantic evening for my husband & I. Chuck Hughes himself was even in the restaurant by chance that night. He visited our table & had a quick chat, we were both totally star struck. Highly recommend the Lobster Pogos featuring black caviar. So yummy. Great service, great music, great food, great ambiance. A wonderful night. 12/10.
