Very very pricey but very very awesome!
So this adventure started when my husband tried to make an online reservation and to my disappointment texted me to tell me that there were no tables available. Now don't give up, I called them immediately and they said they had a cancellation and would be happy to have us. (If possible tell them that you would like a table in the basement but this is regularly taken by Corporate groups) They asked what time I wanted to arrive which was confusing as I thought we would have to take whatever reservation had cancelled - nope - it is an all night extravaganza so it didn't matter what time we arrived because they had no expectation of us leaving until closing :) I also very casually asked about their VEGETARIAN menu because one of our guests was pregnant, vegetarian (eats fish), and allergic to shellfish. The man on the phone said it was no problem as long as she could eat fish sauce, so okay, reservation made, done done and done.
Well . . . we arrive and it is very nice. They sit us in the main floor lounge and they immediately start bringing us weird and delicious appetizers. One after the other, after the other, after the . . . you get the picture. When the first one arrives the server tells us that one of the four offerings has already been especially prepared for our vegetarian guest. I mentioned this once casually as a question on the phone and from our arrival on she had a special dish for each serving without us having ever mentioned it again.
After finishing our many many appetizers we were shown the nine course menu and taken to our dining table upstairs. Our two gentlemen opted for the wine pairing and us ladies opted for the JUICE PAIRING (when you can't quite figure out what that really sour yet amazing juice tastes like but you just know you know that taste - it is Jolly Ranchers!) Each and every course then had a beverage specially tailored for that dish. I could describe each dish but it would take more room then I have here so suffice it to say that from the deconstructed ice Tom Yum soup through the white chocolate pop rock coconut lollipops it was all very very very good and more importantly a whole lot of fun. Out of nine dishes the last sorbet was our only disappointment.
Following the meal we went back to the main floor for some coffee and tea and surprisingly three or four more desserts arrived while were winding down the evening.
The food is new, exciting and delicious, the service is superb and the price is astronomical so how can you go wrong?
