PRITHVI Exceeds Expectations
“You had me at Hello!” This familiar line from Bridget Jones crossed my mind as the waiter proffered the first of three amuse bouche; a miniature savoury doughnut no less!

This deconstruction leads to a greater appreciation of the cuisine and gives the Sommelier an opportunity to make interesting wine pairings.
