    Fantastic experience. Let the restaurant know that this was a special occasion for one of my family members and they could make a fuss over her. And they did! Superbly done with skill and deftness. She knew that she was the star without everyone in the restaurant knowing. Excellent attention from the wait staff, sommelier and host. Everyone was very kind and generous in explaining the menu. Not an every day high-end restaurant guy but the staff made me feel comfortable and that I should be! Food was superb. We cook a lot at home but we could not create any of the dishes that we ate. The flavours and textures were amazing. Seamless flow of plates and the combination put together by our waiter created a night to remember. Moral of the story, maybe go out less, but when you do go out, go to Published on Main!
