i've been puzzling over how to write this review for weeks.... there are far too many cliches that i can fall into when summarizing how great my experience was at this lovely restaurant. how can i avoid getting lyrical and poetic about the original, creative and fantastic food? how do i describe the friendly, informed service without sounding like every other wanna-be reviewer on this site? how do i describe a dining experience in a city that for the most part is totally and undeservedly underrated? \n\ni don't know if i can pop out a unique review, but i can tell you this: this has to be one of the best meals i've had in a long, long time. better than a lot that i've had in some top-tier cities like new york, los angeles and london. there was no pretense, the flavor combinations were unique and outstanding, the service was impeccable. i would high recommend the surf n' turf (a remarkable combination of pork belly, seared scallop and tempura onion) and the risotto (which is so delicious and rich that the portion size is perfect). on this note, i would also suggest not listening to the first review. the portion sizes are fine. if you placed them all of your dishes they would fill a large plate. the food is served individually so that you can enjoy the unique experience of the individual dish. this is food that is absolutely prepared with love.
