Spectacular. We went on Valentines, which is a day most restaurants are overstretches.

They worked with our food preferences (we called in advance) and provided a 10/10 custom tasting menu, better than many 1* Michelin Star restaurants I ve been to.

Oftentimes tasting menus are all about the chef showing off and not about giving the customer an experience - not so at Volver. Every dish was a taste into their menu, and every one was spot on.

Three areas for improvement:

1) Our server was inexperienced and a bit clumsy. He d leave with our dishes and come back to the table with them to ask something, for example.

2) Mixed drinks were only OK. All three cocktails were not well mixed, and I sent one back. The wine was excellent though, and whilst the wine menu was mega expensive, we found a $60 Merlot.

3) One dessert dish (some sort of deconstructed chocolate cake) didn t work for us, and we left it. The server confirmed it wasn t a favorite.

But these are small quibbles in an incredible meal. It wasn t cheap, but great food isn t cheap.
