We came here for dinner to celebrate my birthday & I was not disappointed. The service, presentation of & the food, all received high marks. The staff was extremely polite, all saying hello or good evening when our party walked by them as we entered the restaurant. Although polite they were very professional & did not cross the line of being so polite that they were annoying. Our waiter was charming & the decor was great. Amazing flowers in the center of the dining room & of course the artwork.
The food was amazing. Every course was incredible. The best 2 were the scallops & 7ozs of kobe beef.
Course 1: Maine Lobster Salad with Apple-Champagne Vinaigrette
This was very refreshing & a great way to start the evening.
Course 2: Pan Seared Sea Scallops with Potato Mousseline, Crispy Leeks and Jus de Veau.
The sea scallops were amazing. As far as sea food goes the scallop is underrated in my opinion.
Course 3: Sautéed "A" Steak of Foie Gras with Olsen Cherries, Crushed Almonds and Baltos Cinnamon Reduction
The Foie Gras was great, no surprise that the Cherries complimented the dish perfectly.
Course 4: Sautéed Filet of Halibut with Sautéed Royal Trumpet Mushrooms and Roasted Sunchokes
The halibut was cooked to perfection, it flaked off & tasted wonderful.
Course 5: 7 ounce Filet of Kobe Beef with a ring of mashed potatoes.
What an unexpected treat to have Kobe Beef available as the main entre.
Desert: Everyone was happy with their desert. They wrote happy birthday on my plate with chocolate sauce & my soufflé was sinful.
We had 2 bottles of wine, '03 Jo Phelps Insignia & '05 Groth Cab. Sorry Mr. Phelps but the Groth is tasting better @ half the price.
A great place to cap off the perfect day. I would love to have another birthday dinner here.
