I've been to Victoria & Alberts three times - once as a "Christmas Dinner" with my family, once I brought my boyfriend for his birthday, and most recently we went there for Dinner immediately after getting engaged on the beach at the Polynesian. It's definately a place that is very special to me!
The food is amazing, the service is wonderful, without being intrusive. The wine pairings are a good way to experience how wine compliments various foods.
I love it because it's dining, the art of actually dining... It sounds nerdy, but I really feel that way. It has always been a wonderful way to experience something wonderful with someone I care about, and it give us a good length of time to talk and enjoy the ambiance and each other.
Mmmm. I want to go back.
Happy place.
