International celebrities, diplomats, and heads of state flock to this deluxe culinary citadel like moths to a flame. Inside this converted carriage house, three tiers of rough-hewn wooden beams surround tables set with pink linens and glistening silver. A sloping skylight floods the interior with sun by day; at night, pinpoints of light from the high-tech hanging lanterns create intimate shadows. Polite, uniformed waiters serve well-prepared nouvelle cuisine that’s rich in flavor and originality. A bastion for Basque delicacies with 2 Michelin stars, there’s a whole host of amazing and creative meat, poultry and seafood dishes that should excite even the most demanding of palettes. Viticulturists also flock here to see the famous great bodega with wines from almost all the national Denominations of Origin and international wines (French, Portuguese, Californian, Italian, etc).
