Good & bad
Tuesday, August 25, 2009
Went here for the wife's 40th birthday. Having recently seen the NYtimes give this place 4 stars we were looking forward to big things.
Service - impeccable. There's an army of staff here to keep on top of things but they don't rush you.
Ambiance - Awesome space with huge windows. Very tastefully done without being overbearing.
Food - Two people tried the summer tasting menu and I went with the tower of pork. Summer tasting menu was a dissapointment as almost every dish came with a foam of some description. Some folks may like that but we prefer the food 'as is'. The tower of pork on the other hand was superb with head cheese and pork belly particularly good.
Wine - great list with some that are reasonably priced. Staff were attentive to our requirements and very good recomendations.
overall I'd recomend but in some ways the tasting menu was 'wd-50' light with the molecular style, and to be honest foams have had their day. To have it on every course was overkill.
Pros: Service & Ambiance
Cons: Too much foam
