| - I had dinner at that restaurant on Friday night. I had high expectations about this place. I wish we could have the half star options, because I would have rated it 3,5 stars.
The place is a medium space, cute decoration, not over the top.
The service was great, the staff is very nice and the Chef even came out and talked to us and told us about his precious work experiences under different chefs, asked us how we liked our experience and explained brieftly how he executed some of his meals.
Food wise: We ordered the 5 meals courses, which is 54$/person. I wanted so much more for this dinner, unfortunately, my expectations were not entirely met.
They first offered us dumplings which were filled with some Mexican cactus plant. It was OK, but nothing to write home about.
Then we had a radish salad, which was beautiful, the presentation was exceptional, but the taste was just OK. I found that if you mix the two sauces together and dip the radish pieces in it, it would taste better.
Afterward, we got the fish, which was sturgeon. It was EXCELLENT. Although it was a small piece, the taste was amazing, I loved it and wished I could have a bit more.
We followed with the duck breast, which had been cooked in coffee. It was very good also. It was cooked perfectly. Not overcook, just tender enough.
Afterward, we had the pork. It was crispy and tender and the same time. The pork was covered by dark chocolate sauce. The chef explained that the pork was crispy and tender and the same time, because he used different cooking methods on the pork, including the sous-vide method. I loved the pork, but hated the dark chocolate sauce. I am not a fan of dark chocolate. I though it gave the pork a weird taste. I wish the sauce was on the side, so people could dipped in it if wanted. Otherwise, I wish there were some puree on the side such as a sweet potatoes puree.
We then had a palette cleanser, which was a great touch, because it let us really fully enjoyed the dessert afterward.
The dessert was AMAZING, the Fieldstone, which was some home made foie gras ice green covered by some charcoal meringue. The presentation was beautiful and the taste was great!
Overall, all the meals had great presentations, the service was awesome, some of the meals were misses for me and that's why I would rate this place a 3,5 stars. This is a fairly new restaurant, so I hope it will improve on its weaker points and keep going strong on their strong points
