Great sadness fills my heart to know that this place is closing but I'm happy to have experienced it. I was also very surprised to find out that they offered a vegetarian version of the tasting menu. This allowed me to stick to m original ideal of the tasting menu. To be honest, it was a great value but after seven courses I was slightly hungry still. Keep in mind it was the only thing I had to eat and my reservation was for 7:30. So you shouldn't be afraid of being stuffed after ordering it. I opted for cocktails vice wine pairings and this turned out be a bit of a tactical error since the server was slightly inattentive in that regard. Our drinks were finished by the end of the third course where we asked to see the drink menu again, we didn't get the drink menus again until after the fourth course and then he pretty much never bothered to take a drink order. The food was excellent. Highlights were definitely the pork belly buns. It was cooked perfectly so that the meat was tender and pretty much dissolved in your mouth but still didn't taste like overcooked mush. The duck two ways was also amazing.

This is one of the top 10 restaurants in the city, easily. We go every year for my husband's birthday and just for fun every once in a while. Worth every penny and we love the owner and chef.
