I heard that Sax is opening on Tuesday. Chef Johnny Seningen of Oya designed the menu and everything I tasted was incredible. A colleague said the fondue was the best she had ever tasted, and I swooned over the Bja sea scallop, the heirloom beet, and the duck with foie gras, longoustine and red plum.
