This meal was exceptional from start to finish. The setting, service and food were all world class.
Without doubt the service was some of the best I've ever encountered. Professional but charming as well, nothing was too much trouble and everything ran seamlessly.
I'll just write about my dishes here, but of the little I got to taste of the others they were of similarly high quality.
Shellfish Consommé with Ginger Aroma, Lobster Carpaccio and Crispy Palamos Prawn - The consommé was simply presented, but the lobster on the side draws attention with vivid red and green herbs contrasting against the Carpaccio. The intensity of the consommé was wonderful, being played off against the freshness of the Carpaccio and prawn.
French rib-eye beef with gratin dauphinois and wild mushroom pastry in merlot sauce - Excellent quality beef, loved the presentation of a little line of mushrooms along the side of the plate. The mushroom pastry was outrageously good, a rich and creamy sauce with earthy mushrooms and crisp pastry. Not innovative but simply great.
Wild Strawberries with Lavender Blossom, Crispy Almonds and Malaga Sorbet - Beautifully presented - there are only a few different elements visible but the shape and angles are very well thought out, then cracking open the cylinder your eyes are drawn to reveals another set of layers. The flavours matched the presentation, I love wild strawberries and these tiny bites were delicious, along with the other flavours that were complimentary to the main strawberry theme.
