Everything we ordered was delicious and perfectly cooked, flavored, and plated. I didn’t love the liver mousse toast because the liver flavor was muted, but my partner enjoyed it. Service was excellent. Pretty crowded though and space is too jam packed.
We came here for the first time and ordered the tasting menu and two drinks each. The drinks reflected how skilled the bartender on duty is, I believe she was the one who designed the cocktail menu. The tomato martini is hands down the best drink my partner and I have ever tried, I ordered it, but we ultimately shared it because he couldn't stop sneaking sips. The tasting menu was nothing short of incredible. It wasn't pretentious, but it displayed a great understanding of balance, flavor and technique. We left feeling full and basically floated to our second location of the night, still riding the high from the sensational dining experience. Aside from the above, what stood out the most to me at this restaurant was the service. The staff was attentive, engaging and so thoughtful in all their details. Hats off to the entire staff, we cannot wait to celebrate more moments at Rich Table!
Such a great experience. The uniqueness of the ingredient combinations and the elegance with which things are prepared is quite remarkable. I started with the sardine chip which is brilliant. The sardine is so intense in its fresh, fishy flavor and combined with the whipped horseradish it's such a great foil for the intense flavors. I also had the beef dumpling which I was disappointed with. It lacked seasoning and even though there's a lot of chilies they had no heat. The chicken liver was surprising and delightful. It's quite sweet with the quince and almond and candied pecans and seems to compensate for the sweetness with an excess of flake salt. However, it does work and I would have it again. The uni pasta was just a delight, ao creamy. The shape of the pasta does enhance the experience. Thea amuse bouche was also delightful. And I had the mocktail milk washed cocktail. It had a clean yet. Creamy mouth feel with subtle notes of pickling which perfectly paired with dinner. Really delicious.
We had an excellent dinner during the last night of our honeymoon. The service was perfect and did everything to make the night even more special. The food was delicious and surprising, every bite was an experience and we had lots of fun. Thank you for the great time! The sardin chips and porcini donuts were delicious and very creative! The toro toas was my favourite and the burrata was also very fun! We had the sea oursin pasta that was very good as well but couldn’t really feel the sea oursin flavour. The wine recommendations were also great. For desert we had the panna cotta that was very rich and yummy!
Porcini donuts were great -- with the raclette 😋😋😋 Sea urchin spaghetti was also quite nice though I didnt notice the sea urchin too much. They also had watermelon with a tom kha sauce on it which made for a great combo. Chicken liver was too sweet for me. Everything else was mostly pretty good, except for the steak. Was pretty disappointed in that -- it was a bit tough and didnt have much flavor -- more (flavorful) sauce would have been nice. The green beans with it were completely bland, not even sure if they were salted. Dessert (mint chocolate sablé + ice cream) was great!
