It's kind of in the middle of no where!
But it is worth the trip.
Great service, excellent food and perfect execution.
They have only been open for a short time but they are definitely heading for a michelin star in the future, so try it now before the prices go up.
From my experience this looks like it could even be worth a 2 star.
We had the 5 course set.
It came with 5 additional appetisers, bread, pre-dessert and fresh baked madelines at the end.
Water was also charged per person rather then by the bottle.
Meal took 3 hours but the dishes came out at very regular intervals so there were no long lulls and it didn't feel like it was a long or slow meal.
I found every dish to be expertly put together and the flavours melded very well and were interesting.
Presentation was immaculate.
Some personal observations.
In the bar area they have some very pretty designer tables but they are impractically low! It means the guest has to bend over and pretty much reach down to knee height to pick up their drinks. It also means the server has to bend over and kneel down to place the glass on the table, probably not great for your staff.
The sauce in the second part of the Deer dish with the shaved pears, pecan and rum raisins was a little too salty. I understand that the pear was there to cut through some of the saltiness but I think that dish need more of a sharper flavour then just the sweetness of the pear.
The part of the meal I think that could be tweaked is your pre-dessert and main dessert.
I usually expect a pre-dessert to be a form of palate cleanser but the foam, nuts and berries was actually quite sweet and creamy.
That in itself is not a problem but the following main dessert was a very light and fresh peach dish, ponzu, yoghurt and chocolate
I feel that having a sweet and creamy pre-dessert followed by a lighter fresher dessert results in a reduction of the overall flavour of that dish.
It's a case of eating something sour before sweet, result in the sense of sweetness increasing.
Vice versa to eat something sweet then something sour, increases the sense of the sourness.
Because the pre-dessert has a stronger flavour it overwhelmed the main dessert.
Also just a suggestion for the sugar art on the main dessert consider using cotton candy.
Anyway the meal was excellent keep up the good work and I look forward to returning in the future.
