Birthday's in our family have become an extremely important celebration.
To celebrate we like to go out to an expensive, Fine dining retsaurant that really has the wow factor and order the degustation for everyone. (prefferably a hatted one) and this restaurant fitted the category.
After reading and seeing pictures on people's food blogs all about this retsaurant, I was really keen to recommend this place for my brother to choose as for his birthday celebration even there there was no menu on the website.

I called them up to book and to check weather or not they could cater to my mother's dietry requirments which they happily obliged to.
Because she had dietry requirments we had to pre choose the amount of courses we would be having so they could cater to her needs.
We chose 10 courses.
When we arrived we were greeted by a friendly Maitre'd and shown to our table.
Our menus were on the tables for us I was expecting my mother just to get her own catered for menu and my brother and I would get a different menu but we all had the same menu which was better than them not catering to my mother at all so we just accepted it even though because of this my brother and I's experience wasn't as amazing because elements of some dishes were missing.

Overall out of the 10 courses the first (which was the chef's signature Meli of vegetables and the 2 desserts were really amazing and blew us away there was one dish that let us down and that was the roast chicken and aligot mashed potatoes which I had heard rave reviews about the chicken was fine for a home cooked meal but nothing special and the aligot I felt wasn't the right texture or flavour.
Overall we had a very nice evening and hope to be back at some point.
