The Mr scheduled my Birthday dinner at Da Vinci & wow, what a treat! This 1-Michelin-Starred restaurant created a special 7-course Vegetarian Tasting Menu just for us
I cannot offer enough accolades for this experience - the chef came out to ask if we liked everything, explaining that he normally did not cook solely vegetarian so he wanted to make sure everything was to our liking - and it was!!
The wine paring was over-the-top delicious! What we really appreciated, was the fact everything was from the surrounding region - awesome way to highlight the local area wines! And, not only was each wine outrageously delicious but the compliments to the dishes were perfection. And did I mention that they do not normally offer veggie tasting menus so the preparation that went into our evening's experience was duly noted
The Sommelier made sure to provide a wine card for us as we were leaving with the names of all the wines we tried, so we could go hunt down bottles for ourselves - score!!
Here is what we enjoyed & again, it was an utter delight to dine here!!
* Mini scone with lemon mousse & rice chip with cucumber mousse
