Had Partage on my list for some time and finally decided it would be perfect to celebrate a couple of milestones.
Atmosphere: Modern swank with a friendly and appealing wink. Approachable. The kind of venue where the ice cubes have tiny molded pedestals for gold-dusted garnishes but also a cheery wine-lined foyer/tasting area with barrel tables and a rustic tiled entry into the dining room. PLUS, a semi-private banquet room with a logoed laser light show projecting onto the tabletop, for those Instagram moments.
Was escorted to what mixologist Matthew assured me was the second-best seat at the bar. After receiving introductions (Matthew, Jordan(?), Ian), water, menu book, and restaurant vision, had the difficult task deciding which cocktail (alcoholic all $19) to have first. Already had planned to order the Signature Tasting Menu ($180) and threw in the Black Truffle supplement ($40).
Drinks (all awesome with lovely presentations)-
The Golden Pepper: A zingy smoky sipper.
South of France: Slightly sweet, slightly sour, garden fresh tasting.
Bruschetta Tartine: Delivered on the intense impression that a rich toasted tomato sandwich had been transformed into a liquid. My favorite out of an outstanding field.
Le Café des Îles: Partage's caramely citrusy take on the espresso martini.
Food-
As the menu changes frequently (once a month; the one I enjoyed is due to rotate out around 19 December), plus OpenTable's character limit, I have to refrain from my usual excessive rundown of all the courses. BUT, every course was a showcase of unique flavor boosts and ingredient twists, and were sensorily fascinating. Portions were larger than tapas, each dish enough to enliven the taste buds and satisfy the belly, not wearing out its welcome.
Service: Impeccable and engaging. Pace was deliberately and thankfully unhurried for maximum enjoyment of the meal.
Value: For sheer volume and creativity, well worth it. The whole experience at Partage was a delight.
