What a delightful experience at this trendy spot! The braised beef cheek melted in my mouth, while the sweet potato gnocchi was bursting with flavor. Don’t miss their warm chocolate cake - it’s pure bliss! Exceptional service made for a perfect night out. I’ll definitely return!

Dinner at The Desmond was a delightful experience! Located in the chic Kimpton Alma, the atmosphere was trendy yet romantic, perfect for our date night.

We started with the warm rosemary garlic focaccia paired with creamy whipped ricotta - such a treat! The lobster bucatini stole the show, with its fluffy charcoal pasta and generous lobster chunks bathed in uni butter. For dessert, the warm chocolate cake with Baileys ice cream left us speechless!

The staff, especially Ryan and Aria, provided impeccable service. Can't wait to return for another culinary adventure! 🍷✨
