Reviews
The food was nothing short of extraordinary. Each dish was beautifully presented and thoughtfully composed, with flavors that were bold, balanced, and memorable. You can taste the quality of the ingredients and the creativity behind every course. Highlights included perfectly cooked mains, exquisite sauces, and desserts that were both indulgent and artful.
This is the kind of restaurant where time slows down and every bite feels special. Ideal for celebrations, date nights, or anyone who truly appreciates exceptional cuisine. Worth every moment and every penny—we’ll absolutely be back.
For the meal, my wife and I chose different dishes so we could try a variety of flavors. In general, the flavor combinations and overall seasoning were well done. However, the desserts were somewhat disappointing. The Danish served as the first course did not have the expected flaky texture — it lacked crispness and tasted as though it had been prepared long before serving. The macarons in the petit dessert selection were also overly sweet. Overall, we find that American-style desserts tend to be sweeter than our personal preference.
As for the main courses, the seasoning was nicely executed. That said, the pork dish used a cut that was quite fatty. Combined with my A5 Wagyu selection, the two rich dishes together felt a bit overwhelming and heavy. Unfortunately, the desserts that followed were not light or refreshing enough to balance the richness of the main courses, so the overall progression of the meal felt slightly unbalanced.
Service, on the other hand, was excellent. The staff were attentive, proactive, and very courteous throughout the evening. There was just one small issue at the end: we were initially given the wrong bill, which appeared to belong to the table next to us. Fortunately, I reviewed it carefully and the mistake was quickly corrected.
Despite the minor issues, it was overall a very enjoyable experience, especially thanks to the ambiance and service.
I’m not sure that any of the food was something that took my breath away but it was all really good and the service and beautiful views made up for anything that I thought the food lacked.
It’s quite a pricy meal but for ethe experience and quality, I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a special occasion meal.
It’s a phenomenal choice for a special occasion or just for a special night out.
I recommend adding the wine pairing to the set menu.
Thank you Flagstaff house for a truly enjoyable night.
* However, I’ll say the lobster was some of the best I’ve ever had
* Servers were cordial and were careful to inquire and accommodate for dietary restrictions
The evening started with promise: our menus had our anniversary printed on them, which felt special, but they were later taken away and never returned as a keepsake. From there, the attention to detail unraveled. After ordering sparkling water, we were later refilled with flat. One cocktail had so much ice it was distracting, while another, though tasty, was served in a large clunky glass that made it unpleasant to drink. Twice I had to ask for crumbs to be cleared, and the second time the waiter actually sprayed the table with a bottle while silverware was still set.
Course after course was inconsistent. The canape tartare was overwhelmed by mustard, and the plating looked tired. The melon palate cleanser and roasted Palisade peaches were flavorless. The tuna crudo and squash blossom were decent, though again lacking in presentation. The salmon was overcooked, the soft shell crab both overcooked and poorly plated, though the Berkshire BLT was one of the highlights. Our wine pairings were hit or miss—the first good, the next two poor—and our server even misidentified one pairing, leaving us unsure if we were given the correct wine at all.
For mains, the Wagyu was cooked well, but the sauce ruined it, and the lobster was forgettable. The lamb was good, but again plating felt uninspired. Desserts were equally disappointing: the lemon macarons and cheesecake cleanser lacked flavor, the gelato was inedible, and the cinnamon roll had little cinnamon. The chocolate pecan entremet was the standout, while the apple spice cake was just fine.
Service did not help the experience. Our server seemed lackluster and unknowledgeable compared to others around us, and at no point did the manager stop by to check in.
For a restaurant of this caliber, and at this price point, the lack of attention to detail, inconsistent food, poor plating, and uninspired service were extremely disappointing. What should have been a special celebration felt like a missed opportunity, and sadly, we left more frustrated than fulfilled.
