I was with Mountain Bird and Gaudir, both at this point. You have to try both of these restaurants. It is an excellent choice for a special evening and business dinner. Gaudir is here on Mondays, and Mountain Bird is the rest of the week. Both have incredible creative menus; the service is impeccable; prices are moderate; they use the highest quality ingredients.
