It's one of the Merrivale group restaurants, so you know it is going to be good. The kitchen has been described as one of the most beautiful restaurant kitchens in the world. Most dishes cooked with fire of some sort (coals, wood fired oven, etc.). The head chef will often bring dishes to your table. Tip: ask for one of the kitchen tables for a seat in the middle of the action. Great wine list.
