What a truly amazing dining experience. One of the most romantic restaurants I have ever been too. I came here with a colleague and we were surrounded by couples celebrating birthdays and anniversaries with the signature sparkler dessert.
Upon arrival we were told our table wasn't ready yet - instead of standing around waiting in a bar we were directed to a table on the front patio and were served complimentary appetizers and delicious cocktails. What is this magical fairytale land? Twinkle lights, fresh flowers, candles, all the attention to detail. I had the Conquistador cocktail with vodka, lime, strawberries, fresh basil and ginger beer - so good. The appetizer was a bruschetta with brie and caramelized brussel sprout leaves - I would have been satisfied with just that.
But then we were escorted to the outdoor dining patio - covered in twinkle lights with roses at each table. The four course menu started with a lobster bisque, followed by a salad, and a foie gras wellington. For the main course I had the crispy chicken that was perfectly moist and juicy on the inside. Dessert was not included but we couldn't leave at this point without it. I had a decadent warm chocolate cake and a frothy foamy cappuccino.
The service was impeccable - always there refilling water, folding your napkin if you got up from the table. The bathroom was just a continuation on the adorable cottage decor. I felt like I was in a Beatrix Potter story.
And the prices weren't bad - not compared to what we've become accustomed to in LA.
