Score 89/100 · Order: Prix-fixe tasting dinner · $55–85
A tiny upstairs room running multi-course prix-fixe dinners with pairings at prices that embarrass larger restaurants. Menus change constantly.
Local tip: Book the themed winemaker dinners — they sell out weeks ahead.
Score 87/100 · Order: Multi-course pairing dinner · $60–90 per dinner

Local tip: Reserve well ahead — the themed pairing dinners sell out weeks in advance.
