Night 1: did the chef’s menu (seven-course) and had to take home multiple boxes of leftovers
Night 2: did 2 apps, 1 veggie, 1 main and dessert. Still had to take home leftovers
I had only 3 entree options, which was a simple substitute for meat with some max 1 option. Among them, the pad thai had fish sauce and the pasta had no vegetables, but cheese. The only other entree had pork replaced with Tofu. I have never had such an unpalatable Hummus for appetizer ever. It was tasteless, literally.
Now, I understand how hard it is to find vegetarian options in Farm-to-Table. But that’s the reason i wanted to call and ask if they can do it. I had this planned for my wife’s birthday, who was a strict vegetarian, and i have done this for more than 10 yrs to carefully curate the experience by planning with the restaurant people in advance. But never went wrong on every level like this one.I honestly would not have come here if they were honest with me over the phone on what they can do.
On top of it all, the waiter was not at all customer-friendly. He was so rude and couldn’t help come up with better options, when we suggested.
All in, I paid 160$ for a disastrous meal.
Every detail is meticulously curated, from the furniture to the water bottles, napkins, plates, and candles. The menu is incredibly creative, and the food we enjoyed was exceptional.
The customer service was outstanding. The staff checked in with us at just the right intervals and noticed that our appetizers were taking longer to arrive than they deemed acceptable. Without us even needing to mention it, they graciously brought us an asparagus plate on the house.They even repacked the remaining food for us without us having to ask. The food itself is very high-quality, local, and seasonal.
I really want to give this a perfect 10, but I had to rate it a three instead. The reason is the chipped plates. This is unacceptable for any restaurant, especially one of this caliber. It’s not just about the appearance; the chips and cracks can create crevices where food particles and bacteria accumulate. This makes them difficult to clean and can potentially harbor harmful microorganisms. Another thing is that restaurants are supposed to provide a scoop when serving ice, as outlined in food safety guidelines. This is crucial for maintaining hygiene and preventing contamination. Unfortunately, this was not done, and I had to use my hands instead. Additionally, I recommend serving gin and Chartreuse chilled. The otherwise perfectly crafted cocktail I enjoyed was slightly warm.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone; it is phenomenal. Before that is done, I hope the management improves their sanitary standards as soon as possible.
Also the service was so great, especially after we had some bad experiences in other restaurants during our road trip…
The changing menu gives it the fresh new taste that you can always come to expect that something amazing is awaiting you. Seated at the bar top by the kitchen I was able to watch how the kitchen team worked so well together to craft each dish. Taking passion in what they do. Striking up conversation with you, making you feel at home.
The first dish was the scallops. Perfectly cooked. I have never pictured scallops as a fall dish, but after the presentation and the flavors packed into it, I can’t think of fall now without thinking of the savory pine nuts paired with the scallops. Drinks were perfectly paired and followed by the chocoflan. The staff giving recommendations that didn’t disappoint. You can feel the environment there is one that they enjoy being in and each of them treated me with the friendliest demeanor. Not feeling that I was just being assigned to one person and feeling a cold attitude from the rest. No. Here they all worked together to create a welcoming atmosphere to pair with the amazing food.
I look forward to coming again and trying what other flavor packed dishes they come up with.
