This marks my third visit/time having the same menu. Obviously, it IS good, which explains my repeated visits, but I've lost all excitement about tasting the menu now, hence alas! All good things (should) come to an end. (I was told that they are changing the menu soon, but I was also told the same thing during my last visit in December.)
Started the night with a sweet citrus fizz.
