There's something about traditional fine dining that makes me feel out of this world. Whether it be the perfect table setting, the widely spaced tables or top notch service, it carries a whiff nostalgia of what fine dining is and should be. Tableware, cutlery, glasses were gorgeous and perfect. Especially the tableware... Nowadays for the same price point and hype from the newer fine dines, you could be sitting at a table lined with parchment with no place but the napkin to hide your legs and ea

Nowadays for the same price point and hype from the newer fine dines, you could be sitting at a table lined with parchment with no place but the napkin to hide your legs and eating out of industrialized tableware. Anything nice and the staff would alert you that it was especially sourced by the restaurant... errrrrr.. what's become casual chic is really just a lowering of standards in a way. But anyway, it's nice to refresh yourself by coming to restaurants such as this and enjoying the ambiance and service.
We ordered off the a la carte instead of having 2 sets of the tasting menu.

We took all of the starters (beef tartare, cep, prawn and slow cooked egg) and opted for a lobster with corn, black garlic and coconut sauce, as well as the river trout with potatoes, sweet jam and yellow wine sauce.

You can see from the photos that the two mains looked similar, something for the restaurant to think about.
We ordered separately 4 glasses of their wine from the museum collection, but the waiter selected both our white and red from their "Unlocking the Cellar" series (they were the same price). I think next time we would ask for more full bodied red although their recommendations were nice.
All of the dishes were delicious and I cannot recommend any over the other. I was surprised by this. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ deserves a few of these.
We ordered the Fig dessert and cheese platter for the dessert. My view here is not to order the chese as it was after all only a cheese platter and not so eventful and you may as well order another dessert and see what they have in store for you then. The brilliant Savarin cheese was notable and we went out to look for more after lunch.
Great experience, would definitely do
this again, I miss these restaurants ❤️.
