Had the loveliest dinner here! Fantastic food and gorgeous venue. Detailed breakdown below:
**Service, 5/5** The hostess was so lovely and the gentleman who helped us was so nice!! Definitely made our evening and we felt really taken care of. One of the staff members who walked by even saw us taking pictures and offered to take a group photo for us -- above and beyond from everyone here :)
**Decor & cleanliness, 99999/5** Such a beautiful space. The lights, the flowers, the garden, plus the porcelain plates reminded us of Alice in Wonderland.
**Price & portion, 4/5** Be prepared for pretty small plates with hefty price tags, but you know what you're signing up for, and everything is so well done it's worth trying at least once.
**Presentation of the food, 5/5** So much care goes into each plate!
**Taste of the food, 4.75/5**
- Smoked trout, 3/5: Tasty, but nothing too special. The trout seemed a little bit dry, but the herb sauce was really good. The only thing I didn't absolutely love.
- Chicken liver mousse, 5/5: The best pâté I've ever had. So smooth and creamy that you expect it to be fatty, but there's no oily mouthfeel at all. The mousse itself is a flavor bomb, and pairs so perfectly with the seasoned parsley and perfectly crunchy french bread.
- Pork belly, 5/5: Delightfully tender to the point it all melts in your mouth. The white bean paste is also super good!
- Beef skewers, 4.9/5: Packed with flavor with a hot (but not spicy) sauce! It felt like it was cooked medium well, but wasn't tough or chewy. It was just a taaaaad dry for me, but was a hit for everyone at the table.
- Scallops, 5/5: Perfectly cooked, and such a pretty plate.
- Duck tacos, 5/5: WOWWW this was soooo good. The duck looks like pulled pork but is so juicy and tender. The tortilla soaks up all of the goodness, and it's a perfect bite. Might've been my favorite dish of the night.
- Zarbinger cocktail, 5/5: Bright, fruity, and refreshing with a little kick from the ginger beer. The flavor has a lot of depth but is still light!
