Interesting restaurant.........
Good food, nice plate presentations.
Everything is a' la Carte', salad from $9-$12, entree from $25-$30, dessert from $9-$10.
It's an experience, much like what you get & pay at for instance, Morton's Steakhouse.
Went to Opera in the next buiding, supposed to be oldest opera house west of the Mississippi...........
Great evening over all !
