I think a great dining experience is finding a perfect balance of excitement, refinement, professionalism and warmth. Experiencing an original cuisine that reflects the passions of the chef is truly inspiring. The idea of coming to a great restaurant and sitting at a table with beautifully starched white linen and the anticipation of the experience that is to come is one of life’s great pleasures. It is about nourishing yourself and delighting your palate and evoking all your senses. I believe fine dining is really an art form and, like all art, you bring your own experiences, prejudices, beliefs and culture to the table. How you interpret what you experience is very individual. My wish is that people bring an open mind and heart to the table.
