What an exceptional experience. Beautiful setting, the deeper you go into the restaurant the more impressive it gets. I was lucky to go with one of the members of the Italian wine club that just had a huge dinner at their Santa Monica location. We were lead into a private dining room where we were eased into our dining experience. The Sommolier was incredible. So knowledgeable and helpful. Her descriptions of the wine were spot on.
All of the service was graceful and very attentive. The chef came out and designed a special menu for us. Stand out dishes included crab cake with tomato sabayon and roasted mushrooms and carmalized onions. Lobster ravioli with shaved truffles. Homemade pasta stuffed with prosciutto and finished in a truffle sauce. A gnocci and ravioli mixture with lobster and an insanely rich tagliatelle in a cheese sauce. They finished the night with a selection of homemade sorbet and ice cream.
Seamless service impeccable wine and food. For a truly impressive non-Vegas experience I highly recommend.
