OpenTable Diner

Dined 3 days ago

If you want to treat yourself on a special day, or any day, this is where you want to come. Every single item in the Experience was mouth watering, bursting of flavor. The Tree of Life was unlike anything I have tasted made out of Yuca root, and the truffle bunuelo literally melted in your mouth. The coffee field made you feel like you were floating on a cloud and it took me back home to Constanza, Dominican Republic. Just phenomenal. I was completely fascinated with the chocotherapy, never did I think I would lick my hands during am 18 course dinner. Our server, Pablo, was a burst of energy, full of knowledge and information about El Cielo. He has been with the company for over 10 years, and has seen the restaurants from the ground up. His passion for the restaurant and love of the industry is evident. Thank you Pablo!

About the restaurant

A pursuit for knowledge was the stimulus and continues to be the driving force behind Chef Niven’s career. Ghee means PURE and has a symbolic meaning both spiritually and in the kitchen of an Indian home. The restaurant encompass traditional Indian home cooking, ingredient driven using local artisan purveyors. Chef Niven highlights the experience of dining at Ghee: "I want to my guests to walk into Ghee with the sense of entering my home. I want them to feel at home. I want them to smell the aromas and spices and get more engaged in their meal. One of the things that I always tell my cooks is, ask questions, be inquisitive if you don’t know. I want the same for my guests."

About the restaurant

Chinois haute cuisine is meant to be enjoyed and experienced in the proper fashion. Let the 4-floor rooftop enclave of rich textures and hues mesmerize you with waves of exotic dishes. The name "Hakkasan" pays homage to the ‘Hakka’ people from the New Territories of Hong Kong while ‘san’ is the respectful Japanese form of address. This same tradition and respect goes into every menu item and how they are each prepared and presented.

To complement our wine list, there is a $60 corkage fee (per 750 ML) for two bottles and $120 for any additional bottle (per 750 ML).

I have been to Stubborn Seed many times since learning about it two years ago. As excellent and noteworthy as the menu and service have typically been, last night was a step beyond. Literally, every item in the menu was interesting, beautifully presented, and having wonderful contrasts and subtleties. Really, a sublime experience.
