Chef Alfred Contiga invited me in and I had my friend Gerry join me, for most of the dishes we had our own serving and shared the pizza.
Each dish was well presented and all were good. I have dined at Society Restaurant on a few occasions previously, see one of my previous visits here. The Beef Short Rib Ravioli with chutney, grapes, peas and carrots was a standout dish for both of us; the Smoked Salmon Twinkie surprised me as it was filled with delicious salmon making this a fun tasty appetizer. Flaming Vanilla Creme Brulee arrived to the table and chef then torched it in front of us and in 15 seconds the brulee was finished – voila!
