By far the very B E S T. My husband and I had the pleasure of dining at Lacroix for brunch today, we had been hearing so much about it we just had to try it for ourselves. Well for starters when you arrive at the Rittenhouse Hotel we were greeted by the most pleasant valet attendants and doormen. Once we exited elevator on the second floor we were warmly greeted by the most pleasant host staff and at that point we checked our coats.
We were lead by our hostess to a stunning window seat that overlooked Rittenhouse Square Park. From there our waiter introduced himself, and then the wonderment begins. We were then taken on a tour, yes a tour of the restaurant, totally unexpected. We were escorted around to the various food stations, from fresh sushi and caviar to fresh greens an traditional breakfast items such as potatoes, eggs, bacon and sausage.
The tour went on to the back end of the house where you get to see where the magic happens. The various food stations and chefs preparing what you are about to indulge in.
I am a visual person, and being invited to take a tour of the back end of the restaurant for me was such a big plus, to simply be able to see where and how our food was prepared was such a treat.
Now on to the eats...lol ! let me tell you if you simply want eggs and potatoes, great Lacroix has got you covered but you would be doing your taste buds, food palette and imagination and injustice. Dining at Lacroix is a culinary adventure that everyone deserves to experience at least once in their lifetime. The flavors, options, ideas and flawless executions of all of the dishes, no masterpieces that Lacroix offers are out of this world. Annnnnnnnd you better check out that dessert room......... A M A Z I N G. Something to satisfy every sweet tooth.
The wait staff is so pleasant and attentive to say the least, you guys R O C K ! When you get up to indulge in the splendor you return to your napkin folded and your glasses topped off, every time.
I am a person who values good service and this was not it, this was G R E A T service. I you are in the Philadelphia area , treat yourself, you won't be disappointed.
Thank you Lacroix, see you soon !
