| - My boyfriend said this was the best dining experience of his life! I don't know if my memory is sharp enough to proclaim that, but it's definitely one of the best!
We were seated at the bar which I wasn't expecting, but I think it was the best place to sit. You're very close to your neighbors, so it's not an intimate dining experience, but it's very cool to see the activity in the open kitchen.
The complimentary amuse bouche was a foie gras parfait with a foam on top. Foie gras isn't my thing, but it was tasty.
We received a bread basket with 3 different types of bread. I loved the small flaky bread. Would've loved a second piece, but didn't think I should ask :)
We ordered the jambon (ham bruschetta) as an appetizer. It was a plate of thinly sliced ham with fat around the edges. It came with 2 pieces of toasted bread with tomatoes on top. I don't love tomatoes, but I wanted to eat it as the chef intended and I really enjoyed the combination. I do think it could've used more bread.
There was a miscommunication on my main course order. I thought I had ordered the Sole, but they brought the Seabass. The mistake could have been mine and I told him that, but they insisted on bringing me what I wanted. My boyfriend ordered the wagyu steak and they made him a fresh one as well to come out with my entree. My fish was amazing! It had a brown butter sauce and they deboned it in front of me. The waiter was very apologetic about the mixup and wouldn't let me take the blame for it. I may have loved the potato purée as much is the fish! They said it has equal parts potato and butter, so definitely not healthy, but well worth the calories!
Finally... Dessert! We ordered the white chocolate raspberry ball and the presentation was so cool! I was very happy with the choice and they also brought us out some little dessert extras to apologize for the entrée mixup. So good!
The service was as excellent as the food. The whole thing was absolutely a five-star experience and I would highly recommend it. We ordered a bottle of wine, appetizer, two entrées, and a dessert and it was about $200/person.
