| - Oh.....my......gosh.....is all I can say about here. Hubby and I dined here in the lounge tapas style for one of our honeymoon dinners, and boy oh boy, were we gluttonous! We ordered the tapas menu (including dessert) for $115, and it was amazing. The lounge is very comfy and inviting, with low lighting and pillows all over. I was nervous that hubby wouldn't eat anything here (he's very "meat and potatoes"), but I asked him to trust me, and he was glad he did!
The truffled onion soup and the chacuterie plate for two were simply out of this world, and I am not one to eat these kinds of foods. The manchego mixed green salad was the best salad I've ever tasted, hands down. The truffle buttered popcorn was good, but was a little bit soggy. The rock shrimp noodle salad was very tasty, albeit a tad spicy, and the ahi tuna tartare, eh. I'm not a big tartare eater, so it didn't do much for me. The sliders were slightly too greasy. The mini ham and cheese was sinfully good, and to me, the highlight of the night. My husband loved the chimichuri steak, and the waitress was kind enough to give us two since they were out of the fish sticks. The weinerschnitzel was ok, too greasy for my taste. I can't remember the other tapas, so forgive me.
The desserts were OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!! We had a mix of five fresh fruit sorbets, a lemon angelfood cake with blackberry sorbet, banana cake served over fresh coconut tapioca pudding, a carribean float, and fresh ice cream (avoid the lavender lemongrass one like the plague. It tasted like someone froze a bath and body works lotion and served it up on a plate), and a cheese platter. Simply divine dessert.
The highlight of the night was realizing that Hubert Keller was hanging out in the lounge at the table next to us, discussing design ideas for the renovations. He was super nice, and talked to us for a little bit after he finished his meeting.
The best dining experience I've ever had!
