The food was presented beautifully and in creative ways. We all really enjoyed the warm bread served on rocks with the bread looking like potatoes and rocks themselves. The white asparagus, which was in season when we dined, was prepared simply with ham and salad but was delicious. The risotto was cooked perfectly al dente, creamy and rich without being too heavy.
