Wood-stone roasted sea scallops follow, served with Spanish ham and polenta in a white truffle sauce. Next on the menu is roasted foie gras with celeriac cannelloni and duck confit. A palate-cleansing champagne and lychee sorbet introduces a hearty main course of beef “three ways” – herb-roasted tenderloin, braised beef cheek with parsnip puree, and ox-tail lentils. Completing the menu is a dessert of warm chocolate pudding, passion fruit and honey mousse, and Italian melon sorbet. The menu is $1,180 per person.

My friend and I are tired of sitting next to noisy patrons in the restaurants. For our next gathering, we would like to have a private space to enjoy ourselves. We are looking at numbers between 6-20. Can you suggest some venues? |
