I had an amazing experience and opportunity to organize with The Savoy for the night I proposed to my fiancé. I worked with Taylor with the Director of Food and Beverage at Savoy, who kindly and patiently exchange emails with me to create my special five course menu for my fiancé and I. He worked with me to make sure any food allergies and avoidances were not included on our menu.
Our experience included dining in the Little Savoy(a small intimate and secluded room inside the restaurant), the five course meal, and wine pairing for each individual item on the menu. Each course tasted amazing (see below for each of our special five course) and the wine pairing was wonderful even though they were working with limited wines due to Valentine's Day during the previous week and Restaurant Week which was less than a month prior.
