Chef Anthony Licari was phenomenal. Both food and plating was fantastic. He was incredibly flexible, quickly customizing things for a picky toddler to ensure everybody was taken care of. Everything presented came with a thorough explanation of ingredients and inspiration. He was extremely personable and attentive and did not leave a single detail out of mind. Truly an amazing dinner! 10/10 recommend
