The food felt like a natural progression from my last visit, an unfussed elegant approach to cooking with a big emphasis on working with small artisans and sustainability. All of the dishes seemed to be explained by where and why they sourced the ingredients more than how exactly they cooked them.
Everything i ate had a feeling of freshness and intensity of flavour, which felt quite novel to me. I sometimes find tasting menus can be overly rich and difficult to finish comfortably. Stand out dishes for me were the scollop with cured pork and turnip and the smoked duck. Although all of the food was absolutely delicious.
I’m pretty sure every single person in the front of house and kitchen came and served one of the 18 courses i had. This is something i really appreciate as a solo diner because if the courses take a bit longer or if you have the same person at the table the whole evening i can feel a bit awkward or boring. They were all incredibly warm and charming and for me it kind of made the experience.
To my knowledge there aren’t any other New Nordic restaurants in the area at this level, so its a must visit for anyone interested in dining in one of the west coasts new, best and exciting restaurants! Thank you to the whole team at S&D for an incredible evening 👏👏
Totally worth the visit and make sure you get the reserved wine pairing ✨
Service was warm, personal, and thoughtful, with each chef introducing themselves throughout the meal. I truly can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough. Fully deserving of Top 50 recognition and even 3-star accolades. Huge thanks to Chef Harrison, Alexis, Chimay, Alex, Frida, David, Joe, Evan, and the whole team.
It did feel a little formal for a solo diner, but the staff was very welcoming, and each table had a gorgeous view of the kitchen. Really enjoyed the chance to engage with each staff member, and the service was impeccable.
As a lover and supporter of hyper local/seasonal fare, Chef and team did an amazing job showcasing the bounty of late autumn. Can't wait to return with a partner in tow.
