| - Decided to try Restaurant Progress based on a recommendation from a liquor distribution rep. Read all the reviews, of which the vast majority were positive and so we entrusted this place with our 35th anniversary dinner. We are glad we did. Thoroughly enjoyed the rustic ambience and relatively small size. We were serviced by Esther Noh, who also happens to be the general manager. She was right on point with every aspect of our evening, from drink recommendations, to course pacing, to descriptions of the chef and bartender's offerings for our Chef's Choice dinner and wine pairing. To be sure, it was a little pricey but the food offerings were very different and excellent. We really appreciated that although we both ordered the Chef's Choice, each of us received a different offering than the other for each course. So we were really able to experience 10 different courses over the evening. The same was done with our wine pairings, each of us received a wine that was paired with our particular plate, so we were able to try 8 different wines and two digestifs. What a smart thing to do. We salute the chef, the bartender and Esther. We enjoyed so many different tastes, each one better than the last. Although, the evening was fairly expensive, it was worth it. We will be back with friends in tow. We may not do the Chef's Choice every time but we can still enjoy many of their other offerings and the great cocktails as well (we had a cocktail prior to our dinner experience), I had an ultimo palabra and my wife had the cachaca-chaca. I will be ordering these drinks again next time we visit.
