I don't actually know where to begin. First off, I love food. And it absolutely blows my mind that this place was an expertly crafted crescendo, with each course building in perfect symphonic glory. I feel high as I say this. This is the kind of place you go to when you want to be shown that you have never actually had a gourmet meal before. Like. I thought I had? I've dined in 5-star restaurants all over the world. Let me be Frank. Or Sinead. Because seriously Restaurant Progress, nothing compares to you.
Legitimately, and with my whole heart, I didn't know food could taste this good.
The ambiance, and aesthetic is perfect. It's romantic and beautiful and understated. Yet somehow every detail is bespoke. From the elegant wall art to the exposed beams and Edison bulbs. I'm a designer, so believe me when I say that this place is designed with every detail thoughtfully expressed for the ultimate experience.
We had the tasting menu. I recommend it a billion times. I'm actually still stunned as I sit here contemplating the sheer value ratio for the price point. All together we tried TEN different gourmet dishes, each of them worthy of royalty. Each one better than the one before it. For $150 for two. I am baffled at how we got away with this. It seemed genuinely worth at least twice the price. Because it was the best meal I've ever had in my entire life.
The service was impeccable. She was so skillful and intuitive and seemed to read our minds. I'd had a craving for duck and she was able to arrange that as one of our entrees even though it's supposed to be chef's choice.
Please just go to this place. Get the tasting menu and sit back in love-drunken bliss while you ponder how you've never actually had food before.
