| - Really nice place - although first impression of the restaurant is that the picture on the website makes Beaumont look much bigger, and "grander" than it really is.
I didn't enter the restaurant from outside, but rather, walking through Saks. It is located right by the shoe section, and is really easily missed. But once you're in, the restaurant has a jivey, happening vibe!
The food was really, really yummy! Shout outs go to the Cod cake (it's only one piece) and Black Bean Dip. My husband really liked the Porchetta pizza, but I didn't like it. Not the taste, but the way the pizza is made which is really thin, thin (like eating a really thin dry pita). My husband really liked it so I guess it's really all about personal taste on this one.
I had the pickerel which is SOOOO YUMMY! So many flavor profiles and really tender fish. I HIGHLY recommend this. A lot of people around the table had the brisket, and while good, was nothing outstanding. My husband had the burger and he said the best part of it was the fries so...
And please. Do yourself and everyone at the table by ordering dessert. Specifically, the cheese cake that's wrapped in phylo (sp - too lazy to check spelling!!) pastry which tastes like warm, sweet custard AND the blueberry toast for two. When the waiter brought it out, it looks mammoth but rest assured it will be gone in seconds. This is also a popular brunch item and I can see why.
All in all, this was a great experience and I am very satisfied I tried a Saks restaurant (operated by O&B). Service was excellent. Food was very good. And of course the ambiance was great! I can only imagine a full day of shopping at Saks, this would be the perfect place to rest and unwind.
Give it a try! You won't be disappointed.
FYI: Bathrooms are unisex, which apparently are all the rage. Doors are unmarked so you think you're entering into some random room, but any door that is not marked "employee" are the bathrooms (individual rooms).
