What
an
absolutely
incredible
restaurant.
The
food
was
out
of
this
world
absolutely
fantastic.
A
high-end
Italian
restaurant
bringing
food,wine,art,and
fun
together.
My
choice
of
menu
was
the
summer
"chef
signature"
menu.
And
the
matched
wine.
I
think
I
ended
up
being
served
eight
separate
servings/courses.
I
am
including
pallet
cleaning
servings
as
they
definitely
deserve
recognition.
Some
servings
consisted
of
several
elements,
and
I
will
use
the
bread
accompaniment
as
one
example.
I
was
served
three
pieces
of
bread,one
piece
from
the
North
of
Italy
a
second
from
the
middle
and
a
third
from
the
South
of
Italy.
Every
element
of
the
meal
had
an
artistic
flare,
an
attention
to
detail,
and
a
storey
to
tell.
I
am
going
to
pick
one
of
the
delicious
matched
wines.
A
Pinot
Noir
from
White
Castle
Vinyards
in
monnmouthshire
in
Wales.
"Yes,"
a
Welsh
wine
that
was
absolutely
fabulous.
I
have
spent
many
a
week
roaming
around
the
Vinyards
in
Italy,
and
it's
my
intention
to
visit
White
Castle
Vinyard.
Customer
service
is
on
another
level.
The
chef
actually
prepares
and
gives
an
explanation
of
what
you
are
being
served.
What
the
food
is,its
origins,its
sustainability
and
how
it
was
cooked,
and
what
Pioneering
cooking
/
preparation
technique
was
used.
And
it
does
not
stop
there
as
your
wine
is
served
by
a
wine
connoisseur
who
pours
your
wine.
You
are
again
given
an
explanation
of
why
they
have
chosen
the
matched
wines
and
their
origins.
I
think
the
technical
term
is
"retronasel
olfaction,"
bitter,sweet
salt,acid,
and
the
physical
feel
from
the
tannins.
The
connoisseur
encourages
you
to
release
your
taste
buds
and
enjoy
your
wine.
Front
of
of
house
staff
were
amazing.
Every
little
detail
was
given
the
highest
attention,It
felt
as
though
I
had
a
personal
maitre
d
and
waitress
both
were
in
a
class
of
thier
own
and
made
a
wonderfull
team.
I
will
and
want
to
return
as
I
would
like
to
try
the
Classic
menu.
A
huge
thank
you
to
everyone
involved
at
Gem
