| - First off, I'd like to say this restaurant was the most Romantic and unique restaurant that I've tried so far!
First time here. I was staying at the hotel which is the Hyatt regency, and asked the concierge for a really good nice classy restaurant within the area. He recommended Compass and said that it was well known for being a"revolving restaurant " hence the name Compass. I said cool, I've never been to a revolving restaurant before so i made a reservation for a party of 3 on a Friday night.
I went up to the 24th for where it was located and my oh my, boy was it stunning! Literally when you come out the elevator, you see the hostess on the left and the magnificent view. It reminded me a little bit of a new York view. That view at night with tall lighted buildings. The were a couple of sofas while you wait. It was packed though omg. I said thank God i called for a reservation hours ahead of time!
So we stepped into the restaurant itself and just when i thought i couldn't be more impressed, i was. The place was incredibly charming and cozy. We were seated at a very comfortable booth. Our waiter was so wonderful and polite.
For starters , we were served these little amazing cornbreads! Soo so good. They tasted like ikea ones but Better and gourmet. the waiter recommended some surf and turf combo which sounded delicious till we almost choked when we asked for the price. We ended up ordering for entrées two of the pan seared chicken with smoked cheddar grits and roast vegetables and seared sablefish with sweet potato mash and maple balsamic syrup.
Food was presented beautifully and it tasted amazing. My sablefish was so soft. It tasted light and healthy. I took a taste of the chicken with grits and it was gooooood. We didn't order any desserts because we were stuffed from eating so much cornbread.
Overall, it was awesome. The whole experience definitely felt special, it really was. The ambiance, the service, the food, the rotating view! Everything. The price was definitely worth paying for. Especially great for anniversary and stuff.
I will most definitely be coming back and recommend! Awesome restaurant.
