| - All three of us were 100% full, satisfied, and blown away by the quality of the service, ambiance, and food.
The staff: check out the website. this is so much more than your typical restaurant. Their institute is, or nearly is, one of a kind. EVERYONE was friendly, prompt, and knowledgeable.
The food: The cocktail list had a wide variety and their wine closet was quite robust (pretty to look at too). I had the apple bourbon - appropriate for the season. Rather than choose one item, we decided to share several smaller dishes like tapas. Many fancy-shmancy places discourage this, but our server was perfectly accommodating and even asked if we had a preference for the order of the dishes. We ended up trying three dishes that we'd never had: escargot, oysters, and frog legs - go big or go home, right? All three were divine!! Granted enough butter and garlic can make anything tasty, but this was so much more. It was simple yet delicious, light yet filling, new but still had an aire of comfort food. We also had soup, salad, and shared two desserts - one of which (banana foster) was cooked tableside for an added pzazz.
The price: It isn't cheap or even a regular date night stop. It's a fancy, we are celebrating something important, kind of place. But entire check is tax-deductible - check out the website to learn about the institute. We got to eat amazing food that I could never in 1million years cook, and help our local community, yup! I'm all in and will go back for our next celebration.
