This captures the essence of the sophisticated, interactive nature of Gueridon service and the culinary delights that come with it. It hints at the elegance and excitement that members can expect during their meal.
The Chateaubriand, a centerpiece of the dining room’s Guéridon service, has quickly become a symbol of elegance and culinary mastery. Carved tableside, this luxurious cut of beef is prepared to perfection by the Chef, with every slice revealing its juicy, tender interior. As Members watch the carving process, there is a palpable sense of anticipation and excitement. The presentation is a visual feast, highlighting both the quality of the meat and the skill of the staff. Once plated, it is served with classic accompaniments, completing a dining experience that feels as much like a performance as it does a meal.
Equally impressive is the Caesar Salad, which is crafted entirely from scratch right before the eyes of the guests. Using the freshest ingredients, from the crisp romaine lettuce to the anchovies and shaved parmesan, the staff expertly whisks together the dressing—an authentic combination of olive oil, garlic, lemon, and egg yolk. The entire process, from hand-tossing the salad to delicately arranging the final product on the plate, adds a level of personal engagement to what would otherwise be a simple starter. The sensory experience of watching the ingredients come together, paired with the exquisite final taste, is truly satisfying for diners.
And then, there is the grand finale Crêpes Suzette. The spectacle of this classic dessert being flambéed tableside is nothing short of show-stopping. The delicate crêpes are drenched in a zesty orange sauce, infused with liqueur, and ignited to a dramatic burst of flame. The aroma of caramelized sugar and citrus fills the air, further enticing diners. As the flames die down, the crêpes are served warm, sweet and with ice cream and utterly delectable—a perfect conclusion to a luxurious meal.
This trifecta of Guéridon experiences—the Chateaubriand carving, the hand-tossed Caesar Salad, and the fiery Crêpes Suzette—brings an unforgettable sense of theater to dining, with the interactive nature of the service making members feel like they are part of something truly special.
