This restaurant is touted as one of the finest in the state...believe it. My wife and I went to the Cookery for a special occasion and we were not disappointed, we were in awe. We came up from the cities for a midweek get away, and kicked it off with a trip to the Cookery. We had the most wonderful time. The staff did a beautiful job arranging the special event, and the food was amazing. This is a place were food is transformed into art. The flavors and textures create compositions. What people need to understand is that the chef is not simply cooking, this is about creating a sensual experience for your palate, so full of originality and creativity that you will want to shake his hand by the time dinner is over. I have read some of the reviews and I am surprised that people are taken aback by the prices. Is it not indicated, clear as day, on the web what dinner a dinner can cost? Isn't the 3,5,& 9 course dining all clearly priced? Total disclosure is what I recall. It is well worth the price for such a delicious experience.
Pros: Regional ingredients, changing menus, innovative creations, and fine wine list.
Cons: Distance.
