    A perfect dining experience that’s not easy to find these days. Chef Nick and sous chef Griffin were charming and so so above it all with prep, execution, and explanations. And the food was exquisite. Definitely a revisit soon especially since their menu changes all the time with what’s available from the farmers’ market.
