They recently updated the dining room to convey a sense of place -- mere blocks from the Pacific ocean -- that's more closely tied to the cuisine, which is seafood-focused with techniques that lean more Japanese than French in many cases. All of the dishes were flawlessly executed with a high level of creativity and precision.
The service is impeccable. Formal yet warm. The staff is keen to share their extensive knowledge, whether it's the sourcing of the ingredients or the details of the cooking techniques.
The wine pairing had so many interesting selections, each with a unique and memorable story. The flavor profiles were matched perfectly to complement the dishes.
Can't wait to come back!
