| - Saw a sign last time we were in advertising a "Chef's Table" night, so we decided to try it out this week. First the servers, and chefs were awesome!
Food wise,
We started with a Scallop Appetizer with lobster succotash, Corn, and edible flowers. This was insanely good, and really really beautiful. I would order this if it was on the menu.
Next course was a Crab and Shrimp Salad with citrus sesame dressing. This had tomatoes, avocados, shaved asparagus, and HONEYDEW. I actually thought it was apples instead, But either way, EVERYTHING on this dish played an amazing part. The sesame was perfect, the creamy avocados, the shrimp cooked just right and the right size, and the honeydew added a perfect sweet bite to balance it all. It was amazing.
Entre Course was a Filet Oscar. This was my least favorite item. The quality of the filet seemed lower quality, and mine was overcooked. My wife's was cooked better, and she enjoyed it slightly more. I have had better Demi Glaze. and Bearnaise.
Dessert. This was not great. There was pineapple that was too hard to cut without a knife(and we didn't have knives for this course). and the tarts were overcooked(Hard) and not real flavorful. I am guessing that none of the chefs focus on pastry. I would recommend instead of doing 4 items mediocre, to focus on one GREAT tart, maybe a chocolate tart with raspberry sauce and some fresh quality RUM macerated fruit(Sticking with the theme!). But just do this one item perfect! Especially since you leave people with this last taste, it needs to shine as good, if not better than the rest of the meal.
Food-wise, My Biggest criticism is that every bite of crab I had all night, which was on the first 3 items, had shell in it, and the steak being lower quality meat. I personally would have been happier to pay $20 more and had slightly higher quality ingredients for these few items.
Drinks- First, they start you with a Rum Drink that was awesome.. even if you don't buy any drink pairings, this is included in your meal and was really great. Then they pair either wine or Rum drinks to your meal. I got Rum and it was well worth it. I liked some, didn't like other, but it was matched well and I enjoyed that aspect of the meal.
Value-I felt this meal was excellent value. I do think I'd pay more for slightly better, but understand why some people would be turned off to pay more, so I understand there is a marketing spin there.
Then I leave it with the people. We met some great people and had some excellent conversation all night and till we essentially got booted out, but it was the cherry on top. Really enjoyed our time and cannot wait to do it again!
