Disclaimer: This place is set up as an intimate, high-end dining experience for a romantic date, for foodies who don't mind shelling out money or for the well-off. You can order from the menu, but the concept is designed around the tasting menu. We did the 9-course tasting menu. The cornbread with cream cheese was one of four "snacks" that came in addition to the 9 courses. Not sure what they use for cornmeal, but it was the best cornbread I've ever had in my life. As for the rest of the meal, the desserts stood out. The food overall was a 4 out of 5 for the price, but that's misleading. For a place with such creative combos, there weren't many (any?) where even not so adventurous eaters reacted to with a "nice try, but it's a little much for me." 4 out of 5 mostly, but very consistent. The presentation was top notch. Very pleasant and great for Instagram if you're into that. As a Southern man marrying a Colombian woman, I really enjoy the combo of the head chef and owner (Southern man) and Costa Rican wife. Makes for great and unusual food combos. As for the service, it was attentive (lots of drink refills, detailed explanations of each dish).However, due to the way the restaurant website markets itself, I was expecting more social conversation from the 6 or so employees cooking and such just a few feet away. Also, the bar stools aren't super comfortable for a 90-minute plus meal. They should consider installing a metal bar on which to rest your feet. To me, this is a twice a year spot for a 1-on-1 romantic dinner date. It's not perfect, but I feel that every time you go you are going to have a better than good overall experience.
