I was extremely excited to eat here, so it pains me to leave a two-star review for this restaurant. While the service and atmosphere were both incredible, the food left a lot to be desired.
My partner and I both ordered the ten course tasting menu. Before Quiltro, he had never had a prix fixe menu, and I’d had several across the world (Japan, Southwest Virginia, Prague, etc). We liked the Shrimp and Pineapple, and loved the Cauliflower with Caramelized Milk. Everything else was either unexciting, or highly focused on one bold flavor. I appreciate a bold dish, but I expect bigger flavors to dance with others that are more subtle. Unfortunately, that wasn’t what we experienced. They were often overpowering, sometimes to the point that we didn’t even finish the full dish. I honestly felt guilty that this was my partners first prix fixe experience.
The chef/menu has a solid creative foundation, but the majority of the dishes need work to be considered complex, thought-provoking, or exciting.
