5 of 5 Stars. M?nage a Foie started us off wonderfully with three sublime presentations on the same plate; terrine, brandy mousse, and seared. The accompaniments were pear butter, jellied cherries, and pistachios, all three interchangeable with the three foie preparations. Diver scallops with fried caper berries and a lovely white sauce followed, cooked perfectly, iridescent in the middle. The hand-made truffle gnocchi were aromatic, delicate, and delightful, almost melting on our tongues. The troll king salmon was wasabi-encrusted and served with cucumber and sauce for perfect balance of hot and cool. Like the scallops, it was perfectly cooked and had just a touch of iridescent center. The artisan cheeses finished us off, along with a nice sauterne. We loved our service, the food and the wines. Our biggest disappointment was having no room left for dessert. This place is a "not-to-miss".

Keep your expectations well below standard to avoid let down. Food was good, not exceptional. Service was POOR. We arrived 10 minutes prior to reservation time, expected a wait, but 35 minutes is unexceptable....
