Whichever tasting menu you choose (pick from 8-, 12- and 24-course tastings, priced at $75, $110 and $175), you can expect a constant barrage of the familiar and exotic-ingredients you know paired with ones you do not, or featured in surprising forms. - Phil Vettel

Very intuitive meal. I treated my boyfriend to the 'big dog' selection for Christmas 2006 and was impressed; however, I was hoping for more substantial food. Everything was a liquid!

This is truly one of, if not ^the^ best restaurants in America today. Grant is doing amazing, innovative things that explore new boundaries in cuisine without the typical alienation that comes from such explorations.

Without a doubt one of the best restaurants in the country. We've been twice and have been blow away each time. Can't wait to go back again.
