Never dined as a royal? Try Emanuel’s Kitchen

Fine dining satisfactions come in many creative and exotic presentations.

pg13aTheir appeal is always in the innovation and surprise around taste sensations, recipe design, presentation—and a trust in the delivery of a “best in dining” experience.

So the challenges that must be met to create a gustatory sensation that meets everyone’s expectations are many.

Emanuel’s Kitchen is well-nigh as perfect as I’ve come to such an experience here at Lakeside. Their mission is all about the creative and innovative in a gourmet evening out.

And of course, above all, there was the magic of the plate servings, smallish in size but not gratification. Each cuisine was cast in exquisite and uncommon detail, prompting thoughts of wishing and even asking for more.
