| - We celebrated my 60th birthday at One Restaurant at the Hazelton Hotel last night and I had to write a review because it was without a doubt the most incredible dinner of my lifetime.
The Chef and his very talented wife (pastry chef) provided a feast for 11 people that would have drawn accolades from the good people at Michelin.
We started with a series of appetizers,highlights including Fogo Island cod, buttery lobster spoons, light as air crispy calamari and two different lettuce wrapped offerings (wonderfully flavourful chicken & beef). My favourite was a wild mushroom gnocchi with truffle dust.
Our main courses included the 40 oz Tomahawk rib steaks with four sauces, broiled lobsters with grilled corn, and grilled Branzino, Mediterranean style. Every dish was prepared with the greatest care and each was executed flawlessly. The flavours were all outstanding and all dishes were cooked to perfection.
Our desserts were no less incredible than the dinner. We were served an amazing spiced pumpkin pie with Chantilly cream, several different donuts (some filled with preserves, some with house made ice creams), three different funnel cakes, with toppings including sliced caramelized apples and stewed strawberries and delicious white Oreo milkshakes served in miniature milk bottles with candy-stripped straws. I think these were created specifically for my two grandchildren, who were over the moon with delight.
The service was exceptional. The evening was unforgettable.
For a memorable occasion you could not pick a better venue. We were given the back room, which added to the magic of the evening.
