We've been having trouble going to places that are fine dining lately.  We had a couple of bad experiences where the service and food just did not match our expectations.  This was not the case here.  We ordered a la carte, a lot of food and were completely happy.\n\nSweetbreads - always my favorite, and these were cooked perfectly.\nOctopus - Big pieces of braised octopus that were charred, lovely.\nCharcuterie plate - pickled cauliflower?  Yes please!  beautiful meat selection.\nBeef Tartare - The texture of this egg was so perfect and I loved the saltiness of the capers mixed in, served with grilled bread, the chocolate shouldn't scare you off, you can't taste it really, it just adds a nice crunch to the plate.\nBeef Belly - not sure how they cook this one, but the texture was just phenomenal.  Still super moist but falling apart.  I rarely eat beef entrees but this one was great.\nWe finished off with oysters which were served with a tobasco sorbet.  I don't love big briny oysters, but these were small and sweet and were just wonderful.\n\nWe had an Intermezzo of white chocolate filled with a meyer lemon soup and some celery.  Honestly.  I don't think words can describe what an amazing 2 bites that was.\n\nDesserts were phenomenal as well, My favorite was probably the chocolate with hazelnut.  But The apple strussel with truffle (that's right the mushroom not the chocolate) ice cream was phenomenal as well.  \n\nThe service was also great, very friendly and warm.  We sat at the bar and had a lovely time.  I highly recommend.
