| - I was recently treated to dinner at Q Haute Cuisine. As it was a generous gift I did not see a menu or price, so my review is exclusive of price (though I would imagine the price would be quite high).
My group was seated in a small private dining room, with a table that sat about twelve. We had two servers who seemed to be devoted exclusively to our group- they brought in a variety of appetizers as we arrived and mingled (including a smoked salmon wrap and fried risotto balls), and made sure our wine glasses never ran dry. Our servers were fluent in both English and French.
Prior to the meal we were asked if we had any dietary restrictions, although I got the impression they would have appreciated being informed of these restrictions a day or two in advance (which is totally reasonable- I apologize). I was then served a multi-course vegetarian tasting menu, starting with an amuse-bouche, then a winter vegetable soup, followed by a vegetable terrine, then a dish described as gnocchi but that were actually more like ravioli, ending with a cheesecake dessert. Every course was absolutely delicious, perfectly portioned and garnished wonderfully (obviously my descriptions leave out most of the "juicy details"!). The meat eaters in our group seemed impressed with dishes including proteins as varied as lobster-infused creme fraiche, filet mignon and quail eggs.
I definitely recommend Q Haute Cuisine to anyone who can afford an evening of very fine dining!
