The week we ate all the things!

Final dinner - Chef’s Table.

It is hard to believe but the week was almost over and we were about to have our last meal.

Tonight we were dining at the Chef’s Table. There are only two tables and each table had 6 people dining.

This was a prefix multi course meal, with wine accompanying each course. If you do not drink wine they were happy to make other cocktails or mocktails to go with each dish.

Our dinner started at vintages wine bar where we met our dining companions and enjoyed a pre dinner drink. This was a glass of champagne with basil and lemon. It was light and refreshing and a great way to start the evening.



We then moved to our dinner location. I wish I had thought to take pictures of the space but I didn’t. I would describe it as a birdcage. It you walked into a large birdcage that had two tables. The chairs were large and rounded, mimicking the birdcage shape and they were carved wood birds on top of the chairs. It had a whimsical feel.

We were given a copy of the menu and the chef and our host Mr Fluffy walked around to see if anyone had allergies or food preferences.






Coming up lots of food and wine!

Chef’s table continued

The chef came out with each course to explain the dish and his recommendation for eating it.

The brought out pull apart bread with truffles on top.


The first dish was scallop carpaccio. These were gorgeous scallops thinly sliced with cooked and fried quinoa on top for texture. You dragged the scallops through the yuzu vinaigrette and that ‘cooked’ the scallops. The knife skills for this dish were remarkable. This was delicious.


The next course was the tomato soup. This was simmered for 8 hours then smoked for two hours. Everyone liked this dish.


The next course was a lobster salad. It was a perfectly poached lobster tail over micro greens and veggies. This was light and refreshing.


At this point Mr. Fluffy walked around and told me I was falling behind because my wine was starting to back up.


Next up was the branzino. This dish was also perfectly cooked. The skin was crispy and this citrus supremes were refreshing and really elevated the dish.


For the next course everyone else had filet.


But I received shrimp. These had a slight char and great flavor. They were served over clouds of whipped potatoes and veggies. This was really good.


Next up was dessert. This will be in the next post due to the number of photos.
