Expensive, but more an experience than just a dinner. Absolutely worth a visit!

Corey Lee is a genius. And so is the sommelier - you must get the wine pairings. This is a sublime dining experience. It's food Art for all your senses. Some of the dishes sent shivers through my body. One even brought a tear to my eye. (I'm a meditator, so I am, admittedly, extremely sensitive). Even the next morning, I couldn't shake the experience. I'm in awe. This is not food for the brutes!
