I think most people going here are missing the point. I'm sure their drinks are good, but this is a…read morerestaurant for serious foodies. It's funny, because before I saw the reviews, I thought the chef was being a punk when he came over and told me and my husband "you may not realize this, but this is a fine dining establishment." Now that I see people are just coming here to get drunk, I see why he told us. The food really is something to write home about. The ingredients are exquisite and the food is extremely beautiful and innovative. We got the tasting menu at lunch (Americanos, LUNCH is the big meal of the day here, not dinner. And you should come for lunch) My husband had a pork dish that he maintains may have been the best thing he has ever eaten. They serve the most beautiful fish I have ever seen. The bluefin tuna literally sparkles. There was a tomato with blue cheese ice cream that was surprisingly delicious. I was going to knock them a star for snobby service and if they start getting better reviews, I might. But if I stick to my credo that this is about the food, they deserve 5 stars. But if the owner reads this, if you have a couple of seemingly stupid Americans who have the sense to come for lunch instead of dinner, don't treat them like idiots. They're probably there because they did their research.
