| - Came here for Valentine's day for a special dinner. They had a Valentine's day prix fixed menu which was delicious! The first was the oyster, as the amuse bouche or something of that sort, I normally greatly dislike oysters but they added some spinach and cheese on it with like a bechamel sauce or something and it really transformed it, it was delicious! Next we had the appetizers, a salad, and a goat cheese creme brulé - the salad was forgettable to be honest, but the goat cheese was sooooo good. The presentation was spot on too, especially when you consider the restaurant is located inside of an art museum. It was beautifully presented, a work of art in itself.
Mains were the black cod and the duck breast. Both of which were very tasty and well made. The black cod specifically was fantastic, both my boyfriend and I agree that was probably the highlight of the meal.
Lastly the desert, it was a 3 desert combination, a French vanilla ice cream, a chili chocolate cake with chocolate mousse, and a chai cheesecake. They weren't mind blowing, but they were good.
I've read some reviews here that the food wasn't up to par, but as my first experience I really enjoyed the food. It's true that it's a bit pricey, but it's nice to treat yourself once in a while. The wait staff were also great. Super friendly and really tries to make your experience enjoyable.
The cocktails were also really great, I forgot to mention. There were a few that were inspired by Guillermo del Toro, I'm guessing cause they had his exhibition recently... Not sure exactly where the inspiration came from, but it was pretty tasty. The presentation of the cocktails were impeccable as well! One of them had edible liquid gold! Crazy!
The only reason I wouldn't give it a 5 star would be because of price, but if I could I would give it a 4.5 star.
