Only 2 dining experiences in my life have moved me to tears, and the most recent was at Catherine the Great Restaurant at the Hermitage Hotel. The service was out of this world, the food exceeded any world-class michelin star restaurants I have experienced. The food was so fresh (farm-to-table), and the artistry of the blends of flavors and presentation was brought to a symphony crescendo with the accompaniment of the grand piano. The ambiance transports you to Venice with the Venetian tapestries and French chandeliers, and the most enchanting candelabra that appeared to have a flirtatious smile. If you have never had a perfect experience, then all you have to do is make a reservation and prepare to have an emotional experience.
