Veritas is always top tier! Did the regular tasting menu for mediterranean supper club and loved it! Veritas always knock's it out of the park with proteins, this was some of the best cod I've had in my life and the lamb kebabs were amazingly tender in a way I've never had before in a kebab. The deconstructed baklava I found a bit dry and flat, not any better than a regular piece of baklava and missing some flavor. That is truly my only complaint, the rest was incredible and our service was friendly and amazing as always. read more

One of my favorite spots, walked in to a warm welcome, got seated quickly and the experience starts. Great atmosphere and an awesome menu preparation called "Ocean" which was a selection of seafood. The courses are perfect, come out at a great pace, not to fast not to slow and the waitress explains each dish in detail. Fantastic food, service and experience read more

This is our go to place for special occasions. We went to celebrate the holidays with our friends. I love that the menu is seasonal and they've changed the prix fixe menu to offer vegetarian and seafood options. Every dish is Art and tastes even better. The cocktails are fun and pair well with the food. Wine pairings are available but it felt like too much for a weeknight. There's also a chef's tasting menu that is far more expensive but may be appreciated by people with a finer palate. The ambiance and service are sophisticated and perfect. read more

Given the changing menu and ambiance on a quarterly basis, this review is based on the Thailand tasting menu, but would expect that Veritas would be able to continue to deliver a quality experience as we are eager to return. I love that Columbus has a restaurant such as Veritas that provides a new experience in a familiar environment and brings you to different parts of the world. During our dinner, there were 4 in our party and throughout the dinner, we had our waters and drinks kept full with attentive, but not intrusive service. Even after going to the bathroom, our napkins were replaced with a new folded one. The cocktails were very inventive and on theme with the Thai inspired menu. I love that they created multiple interpretations and didn't just either the local spirit or one cocktail - but really had many interpretations. I am eager to come back to see what their upcoming menus will be! read more

My husband and I went to Veritas to celebrate our anniversary! We were welcomed with champagne and it our first time at this restaurant! The setup is very intimate and romantic! We visited during the Mediterranean supper club. The food menu was a 6 course pre set meal and they had Mediterranean inspired cocktails which very delish. The service was very good and each dish was explained to us by our host when it was served! Lot of different flavors and we enjoyed every bit!! Will definitely come again. read more

10 out of 10 food 10 out of 10 service 8 out of 10 ambiance We really enjoyed the Thai supper club. I would be as bold to say it may have been the best restaurant experience I've ever had. My husband and I celebrated our anniversary with drinks at citizens trust beforehand. They have cocktails that complemented the menu at Veritas. I am excited to go back to try the holiday super club menu in December. read more

We had a fabulous time walking down memory lane during our visit to Veritas for their Thai Supper Club Dinner. Hubs and I took a multi-week adventure to SE Asia in 2019 where we visited Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Phuket. My favorite dish of the supper club was the red snapper, but I loved all of the seafood dishes where the seasonings and spices like lemongrass, Thai chili, lime/acid were prominent and after the first bite of each dish, we had to tell a story about our trip to Thailand. I appreciate the drink pairing too and having Singha bottles. Special s/o to the bread & spread starter. That dip was incredible! read more

Pros: Good location Easy online reservation creative menu - supper club style Nice decor, but kind of dark inside portion, though small, were ample especially after 5 courses Shrimp and Grits was outstanding - lots of flavor Enjoyed the take on Bananas Foster - nice texture, but missed the flames Cons: I didn't like paying $20 per person to reserve (it was refunded after dining) - I felt like I was being hostage in case we did not show up; set a negative tone right off the bat Very uptight atmosphere - server had a pretentious air small dining area enjoyed the creativity of all the dishes in the New Orleans menu, but much of it was overshadowed by the heavy salting Cochon de lait was our least favorite - the fried bricks were gross Pro tip: Fun to try once, but $80 per head can be spent elsewhere unless you really feel like being bougie read more

Still Excellent Cooking, Still Worth a Detour It's been six years since I last reviewed Veritas (I don't review often on this platform), and last night's dinner made me want to post an update from my prior review. Throughout these six years (over 18 dinners at the current Veritas location), my wife and I have reliably had some of the best food offered at Columbus restaurants at Veritas. Josh Dalton and Dan Kamel are hitting on all cylinders these days -- last night's 2024 Holiday Menu was fabulous (the wife and I selected different dishes for most courses and so I got to taste over half of the dishes on offer). Portion sizes were exactly right for us -- and cadence was spot on. Service was attentive and warm, without being cloying. And, as always, the chairs are comfortable and the lighting just right for a meal at this price point. One of the things I particularly like about the way Veritas has developed is that the food experience here changes with the menu -- it's still a Veritas dinner, but the flavor and texture profile are almost completely different. You can go back multiple times in a year and experience different food (take note, Cameron Mitchell). We especially liked this year's Thai menu for that reason, and are both looking forward to the upcoming Korean menu. There are too many restaurants in Columbus where the menu just gets boring after the first several visits. I'm a big fan. Eat here, and eat here often. read more

The quarterly menu was amazing!! I highly recommend adding on the wine pairing. It is a great date experience or a dinner with friends. read more

We went here for our anniversary during their Mexico theme for the first time and I was so impressed. The food was excellent - every course. I was worried it would be too fancy for my palate and it was fancy but still approachable. Good sized portions by the time you add up all the courses. A great spot for special events, for a unique and elevated experience. read more

This place is so cute! i love the design and the interesting menu. My fav in columbus and a great date night spot.

EXCELLENT experience at Veritas! I went for my birthday this year, and it was much different than the first time I visited a few years ago (5 courses instead of 9/I chose between 2 options for 4 of the courses this time/ did not choose when it was 9 courses). I'm not sure which way I liked better, but I feel like I left more full this time around. Parking: Street parking Reservations: required. They do have a bar where you can order food and drinks, FCFS. They also have an upstairs bar in case the main bar fills up. Food: The experience is 2 hours long and includes 5 courses, $75/PP (unless you go for a holiday-- in that case they do their 9 course menu). You choose between 2 options for 4 of the 5 courses. The menu is seasonally updated. I went for my birthday at the end of March, and they had just updated the menu. Our waitress mentioned that they will update it again around July. Flavors were excellent. I tried dishes and flavors that I otherwise wouldn't have thought to put together. The chef brought out one of the courses which I thought was a nice touch. Drinks: they have cocktails, bottles of wine, or wine pairings. Pairings are $55/PP, and the waitress did an excellent job explaining the notes and how the wines pair to each dish. Service: top notch. Our waitress created a nicely timed, wonderful experience. She was knowledgeable, kind, answered questions about the food and the restaurant experience, and nothing felt like it came out too early or too late. Highly, highly recommend! read more

I booked a private dining experience at Veritas, and I absolutely enjoyed the evening and their spring menu! Shout out to our server Matt for an excellent service~ In case you are curious about their private dining - If your group has 7-10 people, you will be seated in this room. There is no special menu for this experience, but it provides a more private space for the group to talk and have a great time! My friends and I also pretty much ordered everything on the bar menu at before the official tasting menu and they were so delicious! read more

My husband and I have eaten at Veritas a handful of times now and every experience has been nothing short of excellent. I am disabled and I really appreciate their considerate reminder of where the ADA entrance is and they really do everything they can to be accommodating. The service is always spectacular. I always get the wine pairing with our meal and the servers are all so knowledgeable. It's such a fun little lesson about wine. I also highly recommend the wine pairing because it is so thoughtful and really adds to the meal experience. The food always blows me away with creativity, thoughtfulness, and care put into every dish. Veritas is very worth the price and we'll happily continue to spend our special occasions with them. read more

We went for their current Mexican Supper Club menu (June 2023). We ate so many vibrantly fresh and delicious things! Ceviche in a fermented prickly pear jus; fish grilled in a banana leaf with banana mash; a crispy quesadilla with a tortilla made in house from blue corn tortilla filled with cheese and squash flowers; make-your-own molé pork cheek tacos with three different sauces, and toppings of fresh radish, cilantro, and chicharrónes; mango and chile power granita; and a chamomile seis leches sponge with caramel and vanilla ice cream. The drinks were equally as tasty: mezcal margarita with fermented prickly pear, a classic paloma, my first clear-liquor old fashioned, and a horchata with canteloupe to pair with dessert. John got the mezcal pairing and highly recommends it. Dinner was amazing! It left me feeling energized and happy instead of heavy and stuffed. Love love loved everything about it read more

They are definitely doing something very unique in Columbus and I appreciate that. There is a lot of care and creativity put into the food here. I loved the concept of the five course tasting menu and the service was impeccable. You will see by the pictures that the food was presented and plated beautifully. I appreciated how they timed delivery of each course out perfectly, and the wine flight pairing add-on was lovely. As others have noted, the serving sizes are "light" and you may leave her needing a midnight snack depending on appetites. I really enjoyed the overall experience, but there were a few things that kept it from being a five star for me. The layout is tight and the tables are awkwardly placed. You may be sitting VERY close to the table next you. Temperature was meat locker cold, to the point of being uncomfortable. We actually asked the server if the AC could be turned down. I enjoyed the vegetarian dishes here much more than the meat dishes. I think they have a way with making veggies shine. The homemade pasta definitely needed to cook a bit longer before being served. It is a culinary adventure for sure, and I do recommend checking it out. read more

Underwhelming tasting with friendly service in the heart of downtown Columbus. Price is reasonable for a tasting ($75pp base) but definitely not a place I would recommend to a friend. Food wise, do NOT expect anything remotely Michelin quality, you'll be disappointed. The flavors were unrefined. The textures were subpar. The portions are light for a 5 course tasting, especially for the Midwest. (I stayed across the street at the Residence Inn and got a flatbread in the lobby after dinner.) Ambiance is "intimate" aka the basement of the building with a side entrance... the iconic lobby of the Citizens building houses the bar *above* the dining room. They have an open window to the kitchen but food prep was hardly visible from most of the tables. Plate by plate... Course 1: Salmon & Creme Fraiche - Strong start to the meal, almost a tease! Salmon had a great texture & it was fun to eat in a waffle cone. In a good way, it reminds you of a solid hors d'oeuvre at a fancy wedding reception. Course 2: I had the hamachi+aguachile & my girlfriend had the parm+potato+leek+truffle. Definitely go with the latter & add truffle, the hamachi was overwhelmed by the aguachile, it was like drowning sushi in soy sauce but citrus-y. Course 3: I had the green curry, the best part was sadly the chips on top. As with most curry fusion attempts, the curry had a nice texture but was quite bland. The squash and the rice was in a cool little roll but it was form over function.. nice presentation but didn't hit the spot. My girlfriend mentioned her steak was tender with decent flavor but it wasn't anything memorable. Course 4: I had the cappelletti, this I where I just felt dissatisfied. The pasta shell too al dente for my liking and the flavors were confusing. Corn and truffle sounded interesting but I felt like I was eating jazzed up gourmet creamed corn. Course 5: Cant knock it, I loved it... s'mores for grownups, David Chang would approve. The marshmallows were money with a space ice cream texture, chocolate ice cream was super light and the graham cracker crumbs complemented everything well. read more

I went to veritas for my friend's birthday. The place is very intimate, cute, and has a romantic vibe. We order a bottle of wine, suggestion of our host that night that we really liked. We tried the tasting menu and while some of the dishes were very good I didn't find anything outstanding for the kind of restaurant Veritas is. Food looked very appealing and the taste was good. I am looking forward to try the next tasting menu that they will offer. read more

Easily the best dining experience I've ever had in Columbus. The service was exception with every detailed accounted for and the ambiance for the Japanese Super Club was elegant without being kitschy or pretentious. Now on to the food, every single dish was unique, delightful, and told a story of its own. I also got the beverage pairing and that was a fun journey all on its own. I highly recommend Vertias for any special occasion or if you're looking for an exceptional dining experience. read more

Compared to the other 1 star Michelin star restaurants Veritas is much, much more deserving. Stellar menu, ESPECIALLY for the cost. There wasn't a single thing we ate that wasn't superb and highly memorable. Even the shaved ice palate cleanser! That tasted like honey oats. Our waitress was very attentive, we tend to ask a lot of questions and chat a bit and she never made us feel like we were inconveniencing her. In fact, she seemed to genuinely enjoy discussing the food. I loved learning that she helped create the Koji fermented lemon cocktail. It was so unique and really showed how creative everyone at Veritas is. There wasn't a single flaw in the food. The chawanmushi and King Crab with dashi beurre blanc were the highlights for my husband and I. So much so that we've made it a goal to recreate it. In summary, beautiful setting, delightful staff, delicious food. Can't go wrong. The experience won't be forgotten. read more

Oh man. Came here for dinner on Valentine's day for the "Love Letter" tasting experience and writing this, I am just a bit sad. We haven't gone out for Valentine's day in many years (we just go out every other day instead lol). It's mostly driven by it being such a commercialized day, the unpersonalized service, and wanting to avoid feeling like the wait staff just wants to get the day over with. I booked Veritas' Valentine's weekend tasting menu after hearing MANY great things about the restaurant. It seemed like a great opportunity to try it -- I was excited to experience excellent food and service. I booked a reservation through Tock which was a $40 per person booking fee and was giddy to go out for a special treat of a dinner on a Monday. I had mentally prepared to indulge even though we were trying to be a little bit more restrictive with our diets this week. We got there around 7:30 so admittedly a bit early for our 7:45 reservation. We were greeted by a host who was really kind and told us it would be a few minutes until our table was ready. Totally fine and normal. We slowly hung our coats up and I perused the menu at the host stand...reading through every red bottle option and cocktail in preparation for my drink order. Was especially excited to see a bottle of wine from Washington that we regularly purchased as members of the winery. We had been standing for about 10 minutes when another couple came in, said they had a 7:45 reservation and were immediately sat (at a table that was already open and set up when we had walked in). I thought this was a bit odd but perhaps they assign seating for parties especially on such a busy night. Another host came to the stand and sharply asked if he could help us. We had already been standing for 10 minutes so I said we are waiting for a table but the party behind us got sat immediately with the same reservation time. To that, he quickly replied something along the lines of "some people come earlier and some people come later... that's just how it is" which felt demeaning and was awkward. He had no idea our reservation time or my name or that we had checked in. A third host came over and took us to our table not more than 10 seconds later which ended up being 2 seats at the bar. I absolutely love bar seating and the casual nature of it and the ability to have easy conversations with your date, but to me it is just not a place to sit for a $200+ per person dinner date on valentine's day. Call me old school but I was looking forward to sitting across my husband with a white cloth and being able to look at each other without twisting our bodies. We looked longingly at the nice fabric chairs while we sat stiffly in the bar seats that had short wooden backs. My husband has had 3 back surgeries so seating in general is tough for him and I would have asked to move but there was literally no other seat available. Anyway - I tried to embrace the bar seating. Alisha was absolutely wonderful as a bartender. She was attentive and accommodating and gave helpful guidance on the drink menu. There was a miscommunication between the staff on the wine glass that was poured which ended up not being the one on the menu that we ordered but no biggie. There was also an incorrect charge on the bottle that we ended up enjoying, but Alisha was apologetic and fixed it right away. Food was incredible and every bite was decadent and thoughtful. Wish I could eat this exact series of dishes once every few days (but seated at a table and not hunched over a bar lol). Tuna, gnocchi/egg, lobster, beef, chocolate/strawberry/caramel - the chef did an outstanding job. Those are all of my favorite things to eat. I can't say I "especially" liked any of them because if I ordered any of those dishes separately at a restaurant, that dish would have been the one I exceptionally liked. All so good. What could have been a really enjoyable experience with excellent food was clouded by the uncomfortable host stand experience and the fact that we were staring at staff taking water breaks and pulling around trashcans at the bar. 3.5 stars that rounds down to a 3 since I emphasize vibes and experience first and foremost in every dinner out, especially when it's one of the most expensive meals in Columbus. Ended up being $415 with tip which can absolutely feel worth it but tonight didn't meet expectations. read more

Veritas is perhaps one of the fanciest restaurants I've been to in Columbus, and it really does make you feel that way when you step in. The whole atmosphere of the restaurant suggests it's a place you can go to for an especially fancy night out or a special celebration. I came last year when they had a five-course tasting menu with three of my friends. As a picky eater, there were a good number of foods I personally don't like/eat but were set on the menu, so I ended up just giving those parts away to my friends. The food itself is very refined and it's obvious each course was carefully thought out, but I would've liked it if there were multiple options for each course. I know that's not really how tasting menus work... but just my personal preference. At the core of my 5-courses was a sea bass course and an Ohio "wagyu" course. I thought that the flavors accompanying the sea bass was fantastic, but the fish itself was a little dry. Having tried actual A5 wagyu from Japan, this Ohio "wagyu" failed to impress, and was in fact a little tough. I really enjoyed one of the appetizers and the dessert, though, so I'm really conflicted about the food. Overall I think Veritas is a very beautiful restaurant, but I'm not sure the quality of food justifies the steep price tag. I'll come back only if a friend wants to celebrate a very special occasion there. Food: 3/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 3 read more

Loved the service and tasting menu. It was our first time here but not our first with a tasting menu. They offer a 5 course tasting menu and you select your choice from course 2-5. Everything was clean with flavors, savory, and delicious. I left there comfortable and not uneasy from being overly stuffed. We definitely want to go back there when their menu changes again. read more

Compared to other upscale, pre-fixe restaurants (Chapman's, Agni), Veritas fell short. The atmosphere is lackluster, dark, and the staff seemed a bit uptight. The food overall was lacking in taste, and I left hungry after the 5 courses for a $95 price tag. Myself and my dinner companion ordered 2 cocktails each and they were not great for the $15+ each. Overall, I wouldn't go back, as I'd rather go to Chapmans or Agni for an upscale, decadent experience worth the price tag. read more

Veritas - BEST WINGS IN THE CITY - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I went in with medium expectations, because I hadn't had a good experience in their earlier location, but this was very different. Excellent all around. The only hitch was finding the place because there is some construction going on in the area. Also, taking a $20 reservation deposit per person (for a Thursday evening reservation) is a bit much. I understand their rationale, but the place was not crowded at all when we arrived. Now, getting to the good stuff. The service was fantastic. Everyone was friendly and warm. My wife and I both liked our wines very much. We started with the pork belly which was wrapped in some sort of a fresh dough (which looked a bit like a Bao). It was delicious, although the pork belly itself was a bit too chewy. The lobster mushroom pasta was my favorite. Oh, the flavors --- I could live on that :). The Duck in mole sauce was excellent as well. Both the dishes were on the larger side of tapas. Finally, the banana cinnamon bread pudding was delicious as well. I just wish it was larger :). read more

I have reviewed Veritas a couple of time, with slightly mixed results. But I have to say that my last two visits have restored my faith in this staple of Columbus high dining. The Thai supper club was beyond belief in reimagining classic Thai flavors. And the Mediterranean menu was just marvelous. As was the service tonight, thanks to Mitch. Just a brilliant job done by everybody. We're lucky to have them in our city. read more

Veritas has a staff that cares about the food, the environment, and the experience of what a full course tasting menu should be. That was truly its hallmark; you could tell they had the vision, passion, and enthusiasm. Each individual and their own expertise in a dedicated dance to serve its patrons. It was an honest effort at an expertly-crafted menu that changes every season. Unfortunately, the lack of staff make that experience impersonal and off time. For a full tasting menu with drink pairings, in Columbus mind you, cost me roughly $300 with tip included. I also ate there on a Tuesday night, which was very slow for them where they have time to speak with customers. I received an excellent description of each drink and item served to me, but it was impersonal, dry, and quick. The food and drink parings came out and awkward times and it was not announced. It just felt kind of odd and off-pace the whole meal. I think this could be an incredible establishment; it already is for Columbus. To be a Michelin star restaurant they need to hire some bar backs that give the main bartender more roaming and conversation clearance and well as the head chefs. For this kind of experience there should be an extreme amount of rapport-building with customers that can turn into regulars. I loved the staff and think they should enhance the experience to live up to their personal potential. That will easily give them a Michelin star. read more

Once again Veritas did not disappoint, every time I go it continues to get better and better. This was my 4th visit, 2 at their original location in Delaware, and 2 at their downtown location and their evolution has been fun to enjoy over the years.

Was our first time there for hubby's bday and it won't be our last! Let's start with atmosphere: It was chic and simple. Loved that like fine dining restaurants the service was on point with our meals coming without kissing a beat to the cues of our curiosity The food: If you're a Columbus foodie this place is no secret. We were lucky to try their new spring menu. Seems they do switch around their tasting menu according to the season and this for really well. It was a citrusy and bright delight if I can sum it up in one word. The amuse bouche was an asparagus garlic mini bite that exploded with flavor. We both got a few different things for each of our courses. For the 2nd course we had the fava with pistachio and every bite was a creamy crunchy delight that plays around in your mouth. I really liked my 2nd course: with the garden peas and coconut green curry. I had to lick off the bowl! The 3rd course I had fergola pasta and it was delicious! Had a nice chewy Al dente texture and a flavor that kept getting me to go in for more. For our main I had the cod and my partner had the lamb. The cod was cooked to medium perfection with a citrusy springy salad that complemented it really well. The lamb was so smooth and melted in your mouth And you can't really finish without having only complements regarding the desserts. I had the rhubarb which had a nice sweet and citrusy contrast with me stealing a few bites of his Boston cream. The chocolate ice cream was so mikjy and mooth and rich at the same time! Also as it was a birthday celebration they also gave us a cute extra birthday ice cream cone cake which was a super nice touch. We were stuffed at the end of our meal! If you're thinking about this place, it's a great place to go for a nice celebration and we will definitely be back. read more

Veritas has been on my "To Try" list probably since the very first week I moved to Columbus. And believe me, it was well worth the wait, because this was easily one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. They were serving the Autumn/Winter tasting menu during our visit, which consists of 5 courses; 4 of which have different options to choose from. Our server recommended we each order different dishes from the tasting menu so we could try more, and that's exactly what we did. I was able to taste 9 different plates which made the cost a little easier to swallow. Below is a (very long) explanation of each course we tried. I. Butternut + Wild Rice A savory, toasty, perfect autumnal bite to start the meal. The puffed wild rice added a great crunch for texture. II. Apple + Walnut + Celery + Grape Under the toasted walnut topping were julienned green apples, pickled celery and grapes, and a walnut aioli. This was described to us as Veritas' take on the Waldorf salad, and after trying it, I'm going to start a petition that all Waldorf salads be like this one. II. Beet + Chèvre + Rye + Dill This dish was bright, acidic, and herbaceous in all the right ways. The creamy chevre and slightly sharp dill oil tasted amazing with the pickled beets. Ill. Sweet Potato + Pecan + Tamarind When we ordered this course, we thought the sweet potato was going to be too sweet, but we were totally wrong. The tamarind glazed yams sat in a pool of the MOST delicious savory and spicy mole sauce I've ever had in my life. III. Pork Belly + Delicata + Sage Just when I thought things couldn't get better after trying that mole, here comes pork belly with fluffy Parisian gnocchi and silky delicata squash puree. The textures in this dish were spot on. IV. Scallop + Broccolini + Chili This dish was the perfect bite: perfectly cooked scallop, lemon-dressed broccolini, and a spicy Calabrian chili emulsion. So good. IV. Prime Strip + Potato + Root Beer Pair a sous vide prime strip steak with potatoes three ways (puree, chips, and au gratin) and you've got my ideal dinner. You really can't go wrong here. V. Almond + Banana + Sourdough I was surprised by the amount of flavor in this dessert - the almond and banana came through in a way that wasn't overwhelming and was balanced by the very interesting sourdough ice cream. V. Dark Chocolate + Cherry + Vanilla This dessert was so good! Bitter dark chocolate, silk vanilla cream and tart cherry custard came together for what was literally the perfect way to end the meal. read more

This was by far one of the best meals I had in 2020. We were so lucky for a last minute cancellation and got the last spot for the cocktail+ food pairing meal. I honestly could not find one thing wrong with the flavors or presentation. In the same token I could not identify a clear cut winner for best plate or cocktail. The only gripe I would say is that the food comes out mildly above warm (but this is the usual temperature I've found at American tasting like this). I'm Asian so I like my food like scalding hot. But really I can't even deduct a star because everything was so good! I will definitely make reservations here the next time I'm back! read more

Excellent meal with interesting flavors. We had the tasting menu for $105/person. The lamb was delicious and the cod was fresh. The dessert was creative and they accommodated the nut allergy that my son had by substituting a different chocolate filling for the pistachio on the phyllo dessert. The little beef dumplings were the weakest element of the meal as they were the size of peas and so small that the meat inside was overwhelmed by the sauce and pasta wrappings. The ambience was quiet and refined. Overall, a very nice highlight of our trip to Columbus, OH. read more

The atmosphere is cool with all the dried flowers hanging around. Infelt the service was above average and we liked our server. It's was my wife's birthday and they made us feel special. We did the full tasting menu with 4 of us w/ wine pairing. In ordered a $60 sparking to start and the bill was $960 with tip and extra fees. I felt the price was higher than it should have been. A lot of in season (zucchini) was used and it seemed most the courses were inexpensive ingredients that were good but there was not any high end extras (truffles or something) to justify the price tag. The value wasn't there for me to return although it was good... read more
