Chef Kevin Binkley's technique is impeccable and the sophisticated contemporary American menu, which features at least ten courses, changes daily depending on what he can get his hands on. Guests are served each course at the same time at different locations within the restaurant depending on the season. The meal is a fixed price, with add-ons for wine pairings, chef pairings, sommelier pairings, wagyu and caviar. Allow some time to enjoy this special meal; the restaurant recommends three and a half hours.
