We came here for our 19th wedding anniversary. We had heard rave reviews for years, and knew it had to be good. The bar has just been raised to a new high.
We could not have expected to be treated to the best fine dining experience we've ever had. We entered and were quickly greeted by the unbelievably friendly staff, and seated immediately. After some brief banter with some of the staff, we were welcomed personally by Chef Ashley. We had barely begun looking at the menu, when Chef Ashley invited us seat in the kitchen at the Chef's table.
Every. Single. Staff. Member.
Every single one of them, from the kitchen porters to Chef Ashley herself, was warm, welcoming, and treated us like the family they hadn't seen in years. Everyone was genuinely happy to be there, proud of their work, and it showed how much they love what they do.
Aiden (Sorry if the spelling is incorrect) took care of us throughout the experience. This young man was the embodiment of service. Not only was his knowledge of the food and menus encyclopedic, but his joy at sharing his knowledge was palpable.
The food. I could write, ad nauseam, about the food. It was amazing. Several dishes ruined some foods for me, as I will never be able to not compare them to what I experienced tonight. The wine pairings were perfection (props to both the Head Sommelier, and Aiden for their expertise). I will not describe the foods we had, as the menu changes, but also no description I provide will do it justice. For the same reason, my pictures will not adequately capture the feast that all your senses will experience at this restaurant.
Every dish deserves its own full page of praise, but one dish, in particular, spoke to my heart. Fall is my favorite time of year, and the head pastry chef, Chef Marjorie, related to me her inspiration for creating the most magical "Fall-in-a-bite" dessert. The balance of flavors, the presentation, the taste...it grabbed a hold of my soul by the shirt collar and slapped me senseless with everything that is Fall in a single spoonful.
At the end of our meal, I was able to share some stories with Chef Ashley about our shared passion for cooking, albeit my amateur cooking skills pale by comparison.
A genuine connection with real people, their passion for cooking up their soul on a plate, and a warm, inviting restaurant and staff are just a few of the reasons we will be back as soon as we can.
Thank you to Chef Ashley, and the whole team at Four by Brother Luck, for making our Anniversary the most special one yet!
