StephSteph: Stand out dish from the tasting menu: white corn ravioli with shaved truffles. I'd also recommend the Maryland crab torta, duck slider foie gras, heirloom tomato salad and flourless chocolate soufflé.

Brittany L.Brittany Letto: Highly recommend Veal Scallopini (served original way), the Branzino was so amazing & flaky/crispy, the White corn ravioli w/ black truffles was so rich & delicious! Choc soufflé & volcano for dessert

Doug M.Doug McCracken: Sweet corn ravioli is delicious

Christopher A.Christopher Auyeung: You're not doing it right if you don't end your meal with the Strawberry Ricotta Crostata. It's served with honeycomb ice cream and sprinkled with thyme and black pepper.

Meg L.Meg L.: Niman Ranch Burger. Dish out the extra $3 (used to be $2, le sigh) for the fried egg. You're already going big by eating an $18 burger so why not get the works? Enjoy.
