This was our first visit to Anderson Reserve, but it definitely won't be our last. I was a chef years ago with classical French training and a respectable resume, and this was the BEST MEAL OF MY LIFE. The moment my wife and I walked in, we were greeted warmly and given a couple of complimentary glasses of champagne (it was our anniversary), and the space was a feast for the senses. The architecture and design were top-notch. There was a wall of wines and a cooler of different cuts of meat from the butcher. There was live music from a very talented guitarist that was enjoyable but didn't drown out conversation. Our server was professional and kind and gave fantastic recommendations. The restaurant was decorated for Christmas was absolutely magical. My wife had the Beef Wellington, which was life-changing for her palate, and I had the New York Strip, which as a former culinary professional, was the most sublimely flawless dish I've ever tasted. The cost was high, but for good reason. There was not an aspect of our experience that was lacking in any way. Anderson Reserve is WORLD CLASS dining... You'd be hard-pressed to find a better experience anywhere.
