Absolutely culinary diner. We reserved at JW California because they offer a quite elaborate wine list and the food on the menu just seemed tasty. Basically we were actually just craving for a good piece of steak.Upon arriving the friendly hostess took us to our table (next to the window) right away and took care of our coats.

Upon arriving the friendly hostess took us to our table (next to the window) right away and took care of our coats. When we sat down the restaurant manager came over to say hello and handed both the menu and wine list to us, very thoughtful.
We decided to start with a Sashimi Platter, which included: Abalone, Amber Jack, Sweet Shrimps, Salmon, Sea Urchin Roe, and Swordfish. The presentation was simple yet elegant.
As a second appetizer we ordered 36 month cured 5J Spanish Iberico ham on tomato Foccacia with Mozzarella and wild rocket. Amazingly tasty cured Iberico ham and the flavors worked well together.
For main, since we both were craving a good piece of steak, we both ordered a medium rare Australian full blood 'Blackmore' Wagyu steak and decided to 'upgrade' it to a Surf 'n Turf. My boyfriend accompanied his with a grilled tiger prawn and I went ahead with a Boston Lobster. The meat was extremely juicy and almost simply melted in your mouth. Fantstic!
At this point our tummies already started to bulge out big time, but we still wanted to finish our diner by sharing a dessert. The Chocolate Bomb sounded quite interesting and we were told that it will take the kitchen about 15-20 minutes before serving. We were perfectly fine with this, the ambiance was tranquil and we would have our Espresso and Cappuccino in the meanwhile to accompany us along.
While nibbling from the Chocolate Bomb chef Jordi Villegas came by to say hello and to make sure we were enjoying our evening, very considerate.We had a terrific evening, accompanied by great food, absolutely attentive staff and a tranquil ambiance. We will for sure go back to JW California again.
