Had an evening food tasting here - there were several courses of delicious food provided with the experience. We added on the apple cider vinegar drink, which was the right choice to warm us up for the winter food tasting. Although I had noted with my booking that I'm gluten-free, they brought me a few courses with gluten. I had to keep checking and waiting for a revised course to be provided when the mistake was made. If you have a food sensitivity/allergy, keep this in mind and make sure you check with each serving/meal. If you do a group booking, make sure to let them know you want separate servings as they were bringing us one plate for each course for our group, until we asked them to bring us separate ones. Considering the food tasting is an expensive experience and they charge per person, this was the first time I was brought a single plate/serving for a group booking.

We went for the Chef’s Counter experience and were blown away by every single course. We really enjoyed hearing Chef Juan explain each dish and demonstrate how knowledgeable he is. He was incredibly kind - sharing details or recommendations like where we could find kalettes locally - and made sure we didn’t leave hungry. I have a gluten intolerance and Chef Juan was also very helpful in accommodating that. The night we went there were some items fried in a shared fryer (so unfortunately potentially problematic for anyone with Celiac) that I was told about up front, but otherwise with some small tweaks the menu was safe for me. I appreciate when restaurants are able to handle the restriction since I know it isn’t always easy on their part. All in all, we loved the atmosphere, the food, and had a great experience with all of the staff. We’ll definitely be returning in the future.
