For my 30th birthday, my now ex-boyfriend took me to this restaurant. What an experience. We had the crab and mascarpone ravioli, filet medallions and colorado lamb and we took the advice of our waiter for the wine pairings. The restaurant was so empty that by the main course, we had the main dining room to ourselves. For dessert courses, they allowed us to walk outside and explore the poolside cabanas that are usually packed during the day, while they set us up on the terrace overlooking the pool. The staff even brought over a heat lamp for us (it was late october and cool). They brought the most wonderful desserts for my birthday, including handmade truffles, miniature ice cream sandwiches and the most fabulous lemon dessert. After dinner, our waiter escorted us on a tour of the kitchen and we met the head chef for the night. It was the quintessential dining experience, and the ultimate 30th birthday dinner.
Pros: never very crowded, impeccable service, excellent food
