We visited The Test Kitchen about three months ago. No doubt very high quality and excellent food preparing with lots of detail, but also a little too much happening on my plate for my liking. My tastebuds almost got an overkill. I would say: no need to show ALL in one dish, why not a bit more subtle? Other than that, a nice atmosphere, young and vibrant, and of course I wouldn't mind to visit again and test Luke's new menu. Hopefully I also get blown away and will understand what all the fuss is about.
