| - Lovely views, great ambiance, food and service. We had a beautiful view of the city at our table and got to watch the sun set while eating. Note that all the window view tables seem to be 4-tops so large parties will probably be seated more towards the center or the other side of the restaurant.
They are currently running a prix-fixe summer special. For $39.95 you get your choice of starter, entree, and dessert. The choices were varied enough that we could choose from the prix-fixe menu and be satisfied with our selections. I had the lobster bisque, stone fish, and ended the meal with a strawberry shortcake. I also sampled some of the short rib, bistro steak, and duck (Regular menu item).
We started our meal with some complimentary bread and a selection of maple pepper compound butter, pepper sauce, and goat cheese spread. The goat cheese spread and the pepper sauce were excellent but I couldn't taste too much of the maple or pepper flavor in the compound butter.
The lobster bisque was rich, creamy smooth, with a concentrated lobster flavor. It was superb.
The stone fish entree was a true delight. The fish had an even crispy sear on it with perfect tender succulent meat. It was perched on top of rice, mushrooms, shrimp, and onion. The colors, textures, and flavors meshed well with the delicate taste of the fish. The only negative was that the lobster soy mushroom broth was too salty for my tastes. The other dishes I tried were cooked to perfection.
Dessert was a delightful "tres" strawberry cake, with a trio of macerated strawberries and rhubarb, strawberry cheesecake ice cream, and strawberry sauce. We had an additional complimentary set of rich, luxurious chocolates with toffee(?) pieces in them.
Service was impeccable. Thanks to Darren for helping to make our night wonderful!
The restaurant can be a little difficult to get to, since it's so high up the mountain and a lot of the road here is one way, steep, and narrow so drive with caution (Especially with all the touristy folk driving about). You have the option of valet or self-park.
One thing to note ladies: This is not a heel friendly venue, so walk with caution or prepare your footwear accordingly. The walkway, although beautifully designed, is made of natural rough stones which make for an uneven walking surface. Once you reach the restaurant you'll have a slightly steep flight of stairs to walk up before you meet the host/hostess.
Overall 4.5/5.
