| - Their presentation is second to none. And we both left feeling this restaurant gives artist a modern/millennial platform to thrive & succeed. I don't know the last time I've seen a Tap dancer at the level of Fred Astaire (think White Christmas) but here, I did! Outstanding talent, good variety of music, breaks between sets so you can mingle & chat. The set up & timing of everything is well thought out.
After seeing the outrageously beautiful images of their dishes & learning its dinner with a show, I thought this would be a fun experience. They also feature some of my husband's/my favorite things: pork belly, caviar, scallops, octopus, crab, beef Wellington, & for the person with a giant sweet tooth, incredible dessert options. We opted for the chocolate terrarium. I requested a table in the lively room based on the reviews & they delivered.
I'll keep this brief because it's an experience & it won't suit every taste but we did have a ball in addition to a fantastic meal. It's a fun night!
Not a single dish disappointed, & I think my favorite was the crab Louie. Another highlight was the shrimp cocktail with the lime foam- intriguing & delicious. I'm a sucker for bell jars so the unique presentation is fun.
Few eh comments:
- busser was efficient & refilled our waters promptly but seemed disinterested & disregarded multiple requests
- the menus were paper with sealing wax; I'm old fashion so I love that detail but my husband's trifold had two rips up along the folded edge- it was coming apart. I hoped he had't noticed but he did & we switched menus. In my book those little details go a long way to make an experience
- I encouraged my husband to order the tasting menu but that required we'd both need to order it, this was not stated on the menu. I can't eat a 3,4,5,6,7 course meal. That was disappointing.
We opted to build our own which worked fine but I'd have rather known in advance & not hyped that item while reviewing the menu together.
Dishes are small, flavors are bold & rich.
