I was lucky enough to dine at Vanitas for a second time in December, and it was one of the most pleasurable dining experiences I've ever had. Ever. The wagyu beef was most amazing, the service unprecedented and the wine list superb.
Vanitas sets a high standard for fine dining establishments across the nation.
Special thanks to the Manager who treated me like a princess all evening. Well done - I'm a fan!
We dined here while staying at the Palazzo versace for our 4th anniversary and had a wonderful evening. We decided to skip entree's and just concentrate on the mains...we had a large buffet breakfast so didn't want to over do it. Hubby had seen the menu ahead of time and was committed to the Wagu, I opted for the snapper. While we were enjoying our predinner drinks, the waiter offered us appertiser of tempura trout...it was melt in your mouth yummy.
As for the mains they were beautifully presented and perfectly cook. The wagu was a larger serving than Hubby expected. We never intended to have dessert but when we gave the menu a glance, we couldn't resist the Banana Souffle', so as not to be greedy we shared it and it was divine. Water was not free and quite pricey but other than that the whole meal was perfect.
The only thing that is odd about this fine dining restaurant is that the hotel pool is your view from the windows and yes at 9 pm, a guest had a swim, now if he had been young and yummy, I would have enjoyed the free look, lets just say I was glad I had eaten, oh, he wasn't that bad, its just something you don't need to see while dining. Will go there again when next in town.
An incredible dining experience, we had the degustation menu with wine. Creative and colourful presentation, fantastic flavours and the best service I have ever had. Formal but not ridiculously so. The duck confit and bannana soufle' were my favourites. Save up and spoil yourself.
