We celebrated our anniversary at this stunning restaurant, and while the evening was memorable, a few missteps kept it from being a 5-star experience. The ambiance was gorgeous, and the service was impeccable from start to finish.
Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly, had our coats taken, and relaxed in the lounge while our drink orders were taken. My mocktail was delicious, but my husband’s coffee mocktail came in an oversized pint glass, with half espresso and half sweet slush, making it too cloying to enjoy. A smaller portion might have worked better.
The appetizers were excellent and set a high bar. Our server was attentive, and the personalized “Happy Anniversary” menus were a thoughtful touch. The first course was beautifully presented but only average in taste. The rolls that followed were fantastic, warm, and perfectly baked.
The soup and salad courses were highlights, flavorful and satisfying for both of us. A raspberry sorbet palate cleanser added a nice touch of elegance. For entrees, my husband’s cod was a hit, but my filet was let down by severely undercooked fingerling potatoes and Brussels sprouts that were inedible—disappointing from an establishment of this caliber.
Dessert ended the evening on a mostly positive note. My husband’s cheese plate was a standout, while my chocolate tart was good but didn’t wow me. Both desserts featured chocolates stamped with “Happy Anniversary,” a thoughtful detail.
Overall, the service, ambiance, and special touches made it a great evening, despite a few issues with the food. I’d definitely return, hoping the kitchen fine-tunes its execution to match the restaurant’s otherwise high standards.
