I wrote the above on my previous visits, and am happy to report that the menu is even better. And it's a great value: $55 tasting menu (5 courses), another $25 for a wine pairing. We ordered ala carte and ended up with a $100 bill (that includes the tax) that included: wine, 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, 2 desserts and 2 after dinner drinks (capuccino and an herbal tisane). If anyone is reading this thread - I have found a new favorite in my neighborhood.
