The Beaver Club exemplifies elegant dining.
We made a reservation a month in advance and I brought a jacket and tie especially for dinner here.
We expected a traditional formal dining evening and were not disappointed.
The restaurant has a formal, but not stuffy setting.
After being seated were greater by the "Champagne cart." we had to have a glass of champagne to celebrate our special night out.
The menu included complete dinners of three and five courses as well as à la carte. I chose the five course option and my wife the three course. I selected the cold and hot fois gras with the duck breast. The wine captain assisted with finding an earthy red that we reasonably priced. Everyone assisted in a friendly comfortable manner.
The fois gras was delicate and creamy. The duck crispy on the outside and tender inside cooked to my desired medium rare finish.
Desert was a perfect crème bruleé served three ways in egg shells. Pistachio, traditional, and grand marnier. The presentation was elegant as was the delicate composition.
The only downside was a large group that arrived near the end of our meal and was seated next to us. The group was noisy and required the attention of our team of servers.
For a traditional formal evening with an comfortable, classic setting with excellent service, food, and presentation, The Beaver Club delivers.
