I was at 259 Host last night for a business networking dinner. When I walked in I was taken back by how upscale the restaurant was. I liked the upscale Indian resto feel ambiance that they were trying to pull off. I arrived a bit early and was seated at the reserved table immediately. Our server was kind enough to bring menus and water before everyone arrived.
Food
Appetizers
Samosa Platter - nice variety of different types of samosas, I tried two different types, could not really tell the difference between the two unfortunately. The chutney was lovely, wish they had more to offer.
Chicken Tikka - perfectly cooked and seasoned, not overtly spicy. I liked the sun dried tomato sauce that was accompanied with, it had a hint of sweetness
Entrees
Sea Bass with a fennel seed sauce - great sauce to fish ratio, the fish was not over cooked. I was surprised how small the portion was though, it was literally a fillet of sea bass and some veggies. For $22 it was rather pricey. Luckily, the appetizers were fulling
Sides
Naan - you can always tell how good an Indian restaurant is by their naan, 259 Host did not disappoint. I preferred the regular naan to the garlic Naan
Service
Attentive and a bit awkward at times; when pouring our wine our server spilled multiple times. The white table cloth was covered in red wine splotches. There was minimal wait for our food between courses.
Overall, 259 Host was an upscale Indian restaurant dining experience. I would recommend it to those in the area.
