I will preface this by saying I have never eaten at this caliber restaurant before in my life, so I was not sure what to expect.

The service was by far and away the best I have ever had at any restaurant in my life. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Everyone already knew our name and occasion. It felt like a very personal experience despite the other tables being served at the same time.

The food itself was mostly very delicious. My wife and I did the prix fixe menu. I was most impressed by the tomato tartare. That dish is like nothing I have ever had in my life and it was delicious. Perfect blend of sweet and savory. She started with the white asparagus dish. She was not the biggest fan, I didn't get to try it so I can't really comment.

The next dish I had was the cucumber sorbet. That was very refreshing, and although the portion was small, it was perfect to cleanse the pallet before the main dish. My wife has the pork cheek. We both tried that and I thought it was incredible. That was actually a pretty decent sized portion, very filling.

For our main dishes, I had the beef tenderloin and my wife had the lobster. My meat was perfectly cooked and very tasty. The potato side was good as well. One minor gripe, the "steak knife" I was given was pretty awful at cutting the steak. My wife's lobster dish was a bit of a mixed bag. The pasta under the lobster was really good, but she was not particularly impressed with the lobster. She said it was a bit tough.

We finished off with the baked Alaska and the apple tatin. My apple tatin was honestly underwhelming. I'm not sure what happened, but it almost tasted burnt. The ice cream side was really good though. She had no complaints about the baked Alaska, but it was a large portion.

In addition to all the above, we were served some other tiny portions. We had a small dish of guac, melon, fish, and rice. That was okay, not exactly my cup of tea. We also had a small creamy lobster puff. That was decent. Finally, after our dessert, we were served a box with some macaroons that were really delicious and a few other after dessert desserts. The rest were okay, but mostly chocolate based so I did not care for them.

The bread options were all good. The brioche was the favorite of my wife and I.

Finally, the drinks. We had 4 different drinks, all of which were very very good. The g&tea was a cool take on a gin drink in a teacup. I honestly can't remember the other drink names but they were all great.

Overall, this was a great experience for a special occasion. I wouldn't really consider this a good value for the money. For $165 each + $19/drink I honestly expected to be blown into another food dimension. I still maintain that the best steak I have ever had was at the Yachtsman Steakhouse at Disney, and that was nowhere near the cost of this, yet at least double the size. It was a good experience and a chance to try a bunch of things I have never had in my life, however I can't shake the thought that I have had better food at a hole in the wall Thai place outside a military base in BF Virginia. The experience, however, was second to none.

Hope this was helpful for those who took the time to read.
