Where do I begin… this allowed me to explore what “Californian cuisine” means. The amuse bouches were all fantastic from the tuna bite to the duck liver stoop waffle, each was unique and flavourful. The uni toast is a must try. Holy the uni melted in your mouth and the brown butter of the toast enhances the sweetness of the uni while the sour dough adds texture and crunch to the melty uni. I wish I could eat more than one of those. First time trying rabbit: kinda tastes like chicken. The antelope was very tender but just doesn’t have any flavour in the sense that it doesn’t taste like chicken or beef. The truffle croissant though omg. So crispy on the outside and so soft and aromatic with the truffle filling. First time trying baked Alaska, don’t love the marshmallow thing but that’s personal. The last walnut cake was memorable as well: buttery, crunchy, and cakey paired with buckwheat tea which diffuses some of the richness from the butter. We also got a canele to take home (I already ate it it was delicious) *for detailed dining experience stay tuned on @mishdiary_

My friend and I made reservations for the bar experience while we were on a long layover and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!
Many members of the staff made it a point to stop over and greet us/check in throughout our meal, and our bartender and other servers were great!
I didn’t enjoy maybe 2 of the 8-9 offerings we had. The remaining were really phenomenal and interesting.

Unforgettable experience... Been to several Michelin restaurants around the world and this place stands above the rest... Years later I still talk about it being the best dining experience of my life.

Dined here solo at the barside salon on May 30th. Tried the full tasting menu. Absolutely amongst the top of dining experiences I have ever had. Great service, everything smelled good, and food was interesting and delicious. I’d absolutely come back, next time in the dining room with a direct view of the kitchen, albeit with an abridged menu and skip the uni toast
Probably more of a 4-4.5 given the price and a few hiccups. And I found the first 4 courses to be significantly better than the latter half.
Service was amazingly warm and attentive. The staff was kind and engaging, and I had a lot fun enjoying the experience despite being alone.
The view of the bar was beautiful and it was nice watching drinks being made. One note is the space is small, with open kitchen and open fire cooking, so I smelled smoke a few times even though I was seated in the furthest area from kitchen. And it was slightly disruptive during the dessert courses for me.
Food was exceptional. I was ridiculously full despite having 4-5 courses left, which was painful because the food tasted incredible and I was not able to finish everything - First 4 canapés were great. Not very impressed with the duck liver stroopwafel, but the white sturgeon, oyster, and dungeness crab were amazing. - The following caviar dish with geoduck was incredible as well—very complex flavor. It was one of the dishes that I still dreamed of a few weeks later, alongside the broth and the trout courses. - The TROUT!! Still thought about it to this day - I added the famous uni toast as a supplement, which was rich and creamy, but I wouldn’t add it again - The rabbit was good, but the loin felt a bit bland, and unfortunately was overpowered by the bacon saltiness and the incredible flavor of the morel mushroom - The antelope course was a bit too salty for me, although the flavor was deep and complex - The truffle brioche smelled and tasted wonderfully - All the dessert courses were good. I was particularly impressed with the chocolate with buckwheat and the financier. One critique is the first 3 desserts were quite sweet, esp the entremet. I’d prefer less sweet, with stronger contrast in flavor and texture - The smell of the financier, canele, and brioche were ridiculously addicting
Bonus point—their bathroom was gorgeous and thoughtfully set up

Amazing food and services🥰
The dishes are not only tasty, unique, but also consistent in menu design. Floral taste is hidden somewhere in every plates.
I also ordered the non-alcoholic pairing, which I enjoyed a lot.

Worth the price. Definitely one of the best dining experiences
Amazing 😭truly so good - the story of the ingredients and the team right infront of us bringing it to life is so special!
Loved the little printed menu and take home souvenir
The only sad part is I couldn’t order more of the Dungeness crab starter bite it was soooooooo good
Highly recommended!
Will return soon.
Great experience.
