This restaurant is really something that real foodies will appreciate as it is cuisine with a soul!!! The head chef and founder of the restaurant was present and seems to be very involved in the restaurant workings. Most of the menu is built around his passions and life experiences and as such not only will it give you this notion of intimacy with it's creator but it is also something that clearly was done with passion and the plates were delicious and tasty in that way that home cooking is often tastier than nouvelle cuisine.
But make no mistake, no letting the authenticity of the approach fool you, this was a Michelin caliber type experience!
An added benefit that their particular relationships with specific wineries that made for some nice discoveries on that side of the experience.
Finally the restaurant is not very large and the kitchen is easily visible (see through wall) from most tables and as such the relationship with the staff is very close as well, they are always right there at your disposal when you need them and since they are always close by they do not feel the need to "check on you" regularly and interrupt your conversations, they are just there as soon as you need them... thorough enjoyment
