This sounds pretty good - too bad it is more expensive than the Inn at Little Washington, rivals City Zen and (even with the exchange rate) is just slightly under a meal at El Bulli. If you have been to the Source and had their $60 filet choice (which is I think is the highest in town) the price won't surprise you.
But the menu sound pretty good....and you get to see Wolfgang Puck, right? I've heard the restaurant has gone down hill since the opening staff left - so if you haven't been yet, you might want to go when Chef Puck is in the kitchen.
