The entrance to the restaurant is through narrow double doors leading into a large architecturally auberge style room with a large central fireplace.


Service: Always available without being pushy or oppressive Bradley Wasserman, the assistant food manager was particularly helpful
Food: We enjoyed an exquisite meal made with the finest ingredients and generally presented in pleasing combinations.
We had the four course $90 dinner which consisted of a choice of one of four first courses, second courses main courses and desserts
Before the meal chef Robert Curry sent us a amuse bouche - a delicate crab cake and a bite of Atlantic salmon






The chef sent us a palate cleanser of pineapple ice cream and sago pearls before the next course


We had a side dish of excellently prepared spinach.A complimentary cheese selection from the left: Accapella: goat milk from Sonoma, Bergase Heublumen cows milk from Switzerland, and three French cheeses a Pyrennes Brebis sheeps milk, and two more cows milk a Fourme D'Ambert and a Sourmaintain which was running off the plate.

Warm vanilla scented chiboust, Mandarin oranges, traditional shortbread

Brown sugar roasted black Arkansas apples, cream cheese, red flame raisins caraway ice cream


Wine: We had a slightly acidic 2006 Stags Leap Voignier $46
Price Perhaps expensive by American standards about US$130/head including service charges
Comments A fine meal with great attention to detail they even provided me a loan of magnifiers as I had trouble reading the menu in the muted light! Not your usual takeaway restaurant but it seems they are used to people not finishing their meals!!

Score: 17-5/20
