Incredible experience! The location was beautiful. Clean, modern look. A Viking-style wood-burning fire in a cauldron welcomes you in the backyard leading to the restaurant - setting my mood instantly. The super amicable Chef welcomes you upon arrival.

No apologies or options offered, just an unbothered chef (I assume he was Roy) worried about stirring whatever he was cooking. Unapologetic, and even annoyed that we were there. Not exactly what is expected from a highly rated “chef”...
