Like many of the other reviews mentioned, I am surprised why Antiqvvm is only a one star michelin restaurant and not a two star. I was blown away from my experience here and I highly recommend anyone in the area to book a reservation to Antiqvvm. I was able to book a table for 2 about ~1.5 weeks in advance but this was during the ongoing pandemic, so I can only imagine how far in advance you would need to a reservations during normal times.
This place is very well hidden down a small alley and into a dirt parking lot. You then venture down a slope that takes you to the front of the restaurant. Upon arrival, I was quickly seated and given a menu. Their wine menu comes on a tablet and if you're interested in cocktails, make sure you ask them for that separate menu.
For the food, I've decided on ordering al la carte versus the set menu since I am particularly picky. Due to their great hospitality, we ended up getting just as many items on the tasting menu because we had non stop chief compliments. I think we were easily given 4-5 complimentary dishes, all of which were super delicious and complimented well with my al la carte dishes. By the time I got my main entree, I was beyond full, but continued to eat because it was too good. I'm not going into details of every dish that I've tried here but some of my highlights were...
- seaweed butter with bread (I love bread, and the seaweed added an unique taste to the traditional butter)
- "discovery" the lamb: superrr tender and flavorful
- "Influences of the World" with lobster and topped with mango: you can't even tell that its mango, great for sneaking it mango for those who dislike it.
Overall, Antiqvvm is one of the bestttt restaurant I had the pleasure of trying and would highly recommend to anyone in the area!
