| - As a previous reviewer stated: "This restaurant is like no other". We had a birthday celebration and we couldn't have chosen a better place to eat.
First of all, the service is second to none. Every staff member that we encountered was very professional and happy to explain the food and answer any questions we had. They obviously like working there because they were all so upbeat and smiley. You feel welcome as soon as you step in the door.
Now for the food - fantastic! I ordered the four course tasting menu and everything was superb. My husband ordered the ribeye steak and enjoyed every mouthful, although the portion was a bit on the small side. But, in between each course came a little treat of creativity from the chef so that's something we've never encountered before. For example, we each had an espresso sized cup of a creamy soup that was so delicate and delicious that we were wishing for more. They also served us a little savory doughnut, about the size of a dollar coin, that was oh-so-good as well as little cranberry "shooters" that had little teenie squares of jello (not really jello, of course, but a fruit gel of some sort). Somewhere in between everything else we were also served a prosciutto mousse that was smooth and delicate. As the meal drew to an end, they again brought out a little taster and this time it was piping hot mini cinnamon souffles with a creme anglaise on top. For dessert, I ordered the goat's milk panna cotta that had a marmalade bottom and alongside were orange, grapefruit and strawberry segments and to top that off the server drizzled honey over all. Fantastic!
We didn't consume any alcohol but we did have a nice bottle of water and purchased two coasters ($10/each) that flash colored lights when a glass is placed on them. The total was $169, including the coasters but not including the tip so it wasn't an inexpensive night but it was well worth it. I can't wait until the next birthday celebration!
