A Roving Reporter “Report”
Nadav Bashan, the chef owner again created a special tasting menu for my friend and me. Thanks to our servers, they hand-wrote the menu for me – no way would I have been able to supply all the details. As the Roving Reporter had to be on a plane very, very early the next morning, the photos will have to tell most of the story.
