Only four of us this time, John, Jim, Ron, Megan.
A special meal so not much of a write up.
Positives: the food was really good. Some of us were allowed to have the 5 courses, other allowed to have the 3 courses: Jim had the accompanying wines, the rest of us didn't. The desserts were fabulous, the creme caramel very rich. The sommelier knew his wines and gave Jim the full explanation: Ron raved about the kimchee: the sauce with the steak was fabulous: the potatoes were wonderfully crisp: the gnocchi out of this world.
The negatives: I was not allowed to have two entrees instead of an entree and a main (go figure...): Jim's glasses of wine kept getting smaller as the meal progressed: the "greens" were just a minuscule plate of mixed lettuce ("what's wrong with that" said Ron). Ron's quail was a bit tasteless but the kimchee with it was perfect: Jim doesn't like pinot grigio. There's no real a la carte, you have to choose from the banquet/degustation menu.
Otherwise the ambience was good, music appropriate and quiet and not too crowded. We were not rushed, it was a relaxed and pleasant evening.
