An impressively creative (if not always perfect crafted) display of structured tastes, with especial care placed on individual flavors within each mixed dish. Menu changes monthly. Restaurant is pretty busy so expect a lot of fellow guests of all types.

The chef takes risks with heavy flavoring and multiple dissonant ingredients leading to some notable hits (a duck with shaved truffle and an assortment of Asian vegetables) and misses in an opinionated set course. Wine pairing is US centric and more than a tad Whole Foods-ish.

For the most part, outstandingly crafted Pan China dishes with some memorable appetizers (chef excelled at Sichuan flavors and of course steamed fish). That said at this price point one does not expect pure comfort food such as perfectly ordinary stir fried vegetables with a piece of bacon or mapo tofu in rice and the like. Pleasant if small dining environment with outstanding service.
