We had dinner in the Salon, which was perfect since it only had 5 courses. It started with a lovely hamachi amuse bouche, followed by poached oysters with caviar, beet salad, and harama crudo. My only issue with the meal was the lamb dish, as it was about 3 small bites and a bit fatty for my liking. My friend does not eat meat so he was served a wonderful piece of chicken breast. The meal was finished with a fantastic eclair with summer fruit and they brought a layered funfetti cupcake with passion fruit icing and 2 candles for our birthdays - a great touch! The service was wonderful, the wine offerings were very good and reasonable. To top things off, we were given a signed menu wishing us a Happy Birthday from the chef. We can t wait to return!
