Restaurant Mosaic at The Orient

I read about this restaurant in the Gourmet Guide, and followed instruction of staying at the Hotel for a night. I booked for my hubby's birthday in April 2017. I What an experience! From the moment we arrived, I felt that no pictures could give this place enough justice. It felt as though I was in a different country without taking an overnight flight. Loved everything about it. The hotel was full of fascinating antiques, the room was probably the best room (suite) that we have every stayed at, and we are well-travelled. (We stayed at the Marakesh suite). I chose the market degustation with wine-pairing, will rather choose the one without pairing next time, just too much wine for one meal...for me anyway. The only little problem was that when we checked out, we had been overcharged for the glass of wine and the tea that we had the afternoon before, while relaxing in the lobby area. This was corrected, but check your bill carefully for errors when you leave. It was an honest mistake, but a little careless. This is a place that is created out of love and passion, and it shows. Even though the dinner seems pricey - it is worth it, as there is very little else to compare. I almost forget the breakfast included in the overnight stay. Totally awesome and nothing you will have had elsewhere. The only other chef in my experience with similar creativity to meals, is Foliage. Will be back for another awesome weekend when I can afford the spoil.
