| - This is one of those places that you go to say you've been, but not a place you keep coming back to.
The four stars are for the absolutely stunning ambience and decor. They did a phenomenal job picking every last detail from the glassware, to the linens, to the seating. You truly feel like royalty when sitting in this restaurant. We had the pleasure of listening to an incredibly dynamic live violinist and sax player - all of this combined would have made for an awesome night even without any libations.
The food was good, but way over seasoned. My diver sea scallops were not the freshest, so perhaps why they went a little overboard on the salt. The side of potato gratin was so hot and over cooked, that even by the end of the meal, we were still burning our tongues and could barely taste anything other than the burnt breadcrumbs. My fiancé's pokè bowl was much better, with the tuna being prepared and seasoned perfectly.
Our cocktails were delicious, so while I don't know if we will be able to justify eating here again, we will be back for a cocktail or two.
The service was excellent but the waiter really continuously pressured us to get the most expensive things on the menu, that plus the fact that someone called me four times in a row in the middle of my workday to confirm my reservation left a poor taste in my mouth.
