The service is truly wonderful. As attentive, but relaxed as you would expect. We were seated by…read morethe windows overlooking the river. I believe you usually have to prepay for the six course tasting menu, which we did not do. We did a la carte, which we were all glad about after tasting the food. The amuse bouche was a piece of salmon on top of what tasted like the fried crispy wontons that you get with Chinese takeout. Weird. My mother had the cucumber appetizer, which just tasted like a palette cleanser. She then had the agnolotti, which I thought was fine, but she didn't eat more than two bites. My dad had the suckling pig, which he nor the bite my mother took found enjoyable. I had the halibut, it was fine, I just don't think I like poached fish. The portions on the a la carte also seem to be the same as the tasting courses, which wasn't a big deal because none of us really enjoyed it. Their cocktails were surprisingly reasonable. My parents had gone last year and loved it, but this year wasn't great. I go to restaurants for the food. This visit we lucked out with great service and a spectacular view. I don't think we'll be going back. Oh, they give you complimentary bread (!!!) and delicious butter. I haven't seen quality bread and butter for a minute. My mom loved it last year, so went again, and np omen was happy
