| - This review is for May 20, 2013. We made reservations to celebrate my birthday. We arrived a little early and were greeted warmly. The ambience is very nice, quite, private and romantic. I especially loved the low lighted wine cellar on display, as soon as you arrive. We were greeted by our server and he went out of his way to explain their concept, as well as describing all the menu items. He also explained the restaurant week menu, but we opted for the regular menu.
My fiancé ordered the Market Oysters, I can't remember the type of oysters, but these were amazing. He grew up in the South of France, right by the ocean, and said these were the best he ever had. I completely agreed. My mom ordered the "Bacon and Egg", this was amazing crispy perfect pork belly with frisee and a panko fried poached egg. This dish was perfection as well. I ordered the foie gras appetizer. Foie gras perfectly seared, served with brioche toast points, the most amazing wild strawberries, and a rhubarb jam. Every appetizer was divine.
We are all ribeye lovers, and each of us ordered a ribeye. The mesquite, butter poached steaks are amazing! These steaks aren't served with any sauce and you don't need it at all. Each of our steaks were perfectly cooked. We ordered the Waygu fried rice, White Cheddar Hashbrows, and Asparagus with truffle oil, poached egg and parmesan. We enjoyed the sides, the only one that was okay was the fried rice. We were quickly filled up and had plenty of leftovers.
We also enjoyed a very nice bottle of Cabernet, and there is a very exceptional wine and cocktail list. For dessert we enjoyed the beignets. They were very delicious. My fiancé enjoyed their specially blended, just for Bourbon Steak, Cognac. He loved this Cognac and I know he wishes he could purchase a bottle.
This was an absolute divine dining experience. This will definitely be our special occasion place.
