Protégé

Exceptional staff at Protégé! Our waitress was extremely kind, funny, and helpful with her suggestions! We went there on August 25th at 5pm. I don’t know what the waitress’s name was, but she has been the best waitress I have met in the US so far. The atmosphere is chic without being “heavy”. The food was good. Nothing exceptional, but good. There wasn’t any flavour mistakes in any of the dishes. The price was appropriate for the food that was served. Overall a great restaurant! Highly recommend! The only downside was the maître D who kept walking circles every 2 minutes which was slightly intrusive, but that’s just a minor detail.

We had a great dinner here. The service is professional but not stuffy. Similarly, the ambiance is refined yet laid back. The food was exceptional as well. The fish and chips turned out to be a delicate morsel of tuna with a kick served on a shrimp crisp. Our sea bream was prepared well and had nice crisoy skin to balance the tender meat. Light horse radish cream not overpowering. Citrus yuzu. Beautifully plated. Wagyu was served with black garlic and mushroom tempura, topped with salt. It was prepared well and fatty as expected. The duck was medium rare with crunchy skin, served with an interesting duck confit dumpling. Drinks and desserts also hit the mark.

Dined last night and had an amazing time. Atmosphere was inviting. The food was so delicious. I had the ricotta dumplings and brick chicken. Can I just say, it was flavorful. The staff was attentive and the manager came to our table to check that we were having a momentus time. We will definitely be going back. My ending thought, if you have a chance to dine, do so and you won't regret it. So def 5 stars and a must!
