We (3) booked for the earliest table (8:30), but we arrived around 7:30 to enjoy a few drinks first. We were seated in a very nice and comfortable booth/chair beside the bar. Cocktails were very nice, fresh and not overpriced. A short while later (maybe 30 minutes), our table was ready. Too bad it was the seat right beside the entrance with the washrom and customer traffic. Regardless, the table, furniture, lighting, and seats are all very comfortable and posh. The other customers were quiet, no
The menu offers only 2 sets. Both are unique, but the more expensive set included a soup for $ 350...so rather than chance that much $$$ on a "Signature" soup, we opted for set A.
The bread was only average; no grains, white, too crusty on the outside and my mother makes much better bread, so I am used to better quality. The amuse bouche or whatever they called it, was a nice gimmick/touch...very rich in flavour.
A bottle of Pinot Gregio was reasonably priced $380. It was tasty!
The starter; the crab salad with cucumber gel is fantastic; light, refreshing and very pleasant. The flavours explode in your mouth. Second course, lobster pasta, also fresh, cooked to perfection and flavourful. It had a good portion of lobster too. My main course was the lamb. It was cooked to perfection and tasty. I tasted some of the Ox cheek. I'll get that next time because it was delicious! Desserts were all very nice. I chose the apple. Combining the 4 courses made for just the right size for a dinner. Presentation was fine on all courses, very simlpe, yet effective.
The petitie fours were nice, but I wonder why we were given the option to take only one, when other tables were choosing 4 and five each? I was full anyways, but this should have been explained more clearly when they were presented.
The service was right on...swift, efficient and extremely polite. Overall, yes, I will go back again, as often as I can afford. I'd love to sample that signature soup though. The restaurant is a very nice, away from the turmoil, night out, venue!
I refuse to take pictures and disturb other guests while enjoying such an elegant atmosphere. I'd like to thank the other guests for doing the same Saturday night.
