Authentic... not just the cuisine, nor the artistry of the preparation of the food... in the end... all I could say -- they paid homage to the ingredients... and the origins of the cuisine..... The service was again....authentic.... the folks who attended to us made us felt heard, and seen. Quite unusual for a three michelin starred restaurant, isn't it?
