I have always wanted to try Gold so went there for dinner for the first time. Overall the place, the service, and the food were all fine but on the whole not as good as expected.The place - not bad. Tables are reasonably spaced apart but the decoration is a cross between 90s USA west coast trendy chic and New York night club look. The protruding sets of concentric circles on the ceiling have a retro feel but would probably look better if the room had higher ceiling. The staff - the young la
The place - not bad. Tables are reasonably spaced apart but the decoration is a cross between 90s USA west coast trendy chic and New York night club look. The protruding sets of concentric circles on the ceiling have a retro feel but would probably look better if the room had higher ceiling.
The staff - the young lady at the door who showed us to the table was slightly spaced out but the rest of the staff was fine. Service was not bad but not exceptional either.
The food - we tried the tasting menu with 5 courses (for $880 each). The foccacia bread that came before everything else was extremely good - fresh out of the oven with nice sun-dried tomatoes on top. The first course was pork with burrata on some fruit salad...a bit of a weird dish that was a bit watery. The second course was white asparagus with egg yolk which had a wonderful smoky flavor and was very good. Course number 3 was angle hair with clams which was very ordinary and some clams actually had sand in them! This was probably the most disappointing dish of the night. The fourth dish was the main course which was sea bass. The fish was very nice and tender but it had some very sweet puree on top which overpowered the fresh flavor of the fish. On the whole it was ok - the cuttlefish and potato that came with it were very tasty. The final dish was a chocolate and hazelnut mousse cake which was quite wonderful.
Hmmm...it was a reasonably pleasant meal but might be a while before I go back.
