The warm, attentive staff welcomed us like old friends, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening. Every detail of the service was impeccable—our servers were knowledgeable, accommodating, and genuinely passionate about the food and wine they were presenting. We opted for the tasting menu (which needs reserving in advance but the website does not mention this) with the wine pairing, and whilst it was undoubtedly a splurge, it was worth every penny. Each course was a delicious, showcasing a perfect balance of flavours, textures, and creativity. The chefs clearly put their hearts into every dish, and the presentation was as artful as the flavours were delightful. The wine pairings elevated the meal to a whole new level. Each selection was thoughtfully chosen, with the sommelier explaining how the nuances of the wine complemented the dish. It felt like a harmonious journey through tastes and aromas, and every sip enhanced the overall experience. Yes, it was expensive, but this was a great way to celebrate, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. If you’re looking for a special occasion or simply want to treat yourself to a night of culinary brilliance, Gouqi is highly recommended. We left feeling thoroughly indulged.
