Great food, great music, great people. Had a lovely time, called ahead of time with Amanda and she set us up with Jordan to surprise us with our 4-course meal for the day. Definitely recommend it if you are unsure of what to get. Not my first time here, but after today, definitely felt that a review was needed. Thank you everyone!

We had the 4-course tasting menu, and it was fantastic! The meal left us full and satisfied. The cocktails—Project G, Cosmopolitan, and Calm Seas—were phenomenal, with smooth textures, great mouthfeel, and complex flavors. The service was exceptional and truly elevated the experience! We enjoyed the Kona Kanpachi Crudo, Lobster Ravioli with Black Truffle, Basque Cheesecake, and Paris-Brest. Already looking forward to our next visit to The Plumed Horse!
