Patina was not even close to the experiences I got to appreciate in New York City. It's not bad but cannot even get close to Lutece, Jean George or others in this class. It's rather bland. The wine list however is great.
We visited this restaurant when we were visiting California. It was truly a fine dining experience. The food was delicious and the ambiance was a delightful. The sweet potato pudding is the best north of Haiti. TiGeorges was a hospitable host.
