A Fine Dining Restaurant Experience We'll Never Forget
# Krave Restaurant
It was my girlfriend’s birthday and we wanted to do something fun yet a bit fancy. I decided to surprise her by getting reservations at a fine dining restaurant called Krave. The reviews online raved about the good food, excellent service and paramount ambience. After having many on the list and days of deciding (I tend to take long to do that), I bit the bullet and made reservations online for Krave. The next day I got a call to confirm the booking and was gently reminded and “persuaded” to wear semi formal clothing. Excitement began setting in as I consider myself a foodie and I could not wait to try the food!

Walking into the restaurant when the day came, all I could hear in my head was “glamourous”. I didn’t get much pictures from the reception area but you're going to have to take my word for it. The walls were shiny, the chandeliers were eye catching and the floors were dazzling. They knew people were akin to taking pictures for their social media and so on and so they ensured that every part of the restaurant was photo worthy. Great planning and thought if I do say so myself.

We were given our seats and the ambient atmosphere of the restaurant immediately set in. The lighting was dim and moody, just the way I like it. There was live entertainment by a lovely singer whose voice sounded like the personification of honey. The thing I appreciated most is the thought that went into the little things. The volume of the microphone of the singer was set to such a level that you could hear and be calmed by the music but not so loud that you can’t still hear yourself think or have a nice hushed conversation with your date.

We ordered appetizers first. I am of the opinion that if you’re out to eat and you have the opportunity to try something new, go for it! So we ordered the buttered snails. Yes. For those of you who may not know, escargot is French/ European dish made with snails, butter and garlic mostly. I had never tried this before as people here in Trinidad would be squeamish at the thought of eating any sort of mollusc much more for a snail. We found the snails to have been really flavourful and tasty. Not bad for the first time, and I could understand why the French had no problem using snails in dishes to get rid of the pests from their gardens.

The main entrees arrived. We got the chicken breast stuffed with shrimp and other  things with a side of delicious spinach pilaf and a kale salad. I have to say the flavours were well balanced and everything chosen for the platter was well thought of. Kudos to whoever did the menu! I’m not big on salads but hell, that was the best thing I ever had! I could eat a bowl of that alone everyday! The pilaf was amazingly hearty and flavourful and the chicken breast was perfectly cooked and juicy with its stuffing being equally as good.

Next up was dessert and since I told them it was for a birthday during making the reservation, they did a whole cool birthday song and a special plate with happy birthday written on it, the usual restaurant birthday experience! I cannot remember the name of the dessert but it was like chocolate heaven in my mouth and it was amazing!

All in all the experience was amazing. The little details that they paid attention to that made the experience one in a million was amazing to me. The level of skill in terms of cooking as well as plating the meals were amazing as well. It seemed as if they had a well run kitchen. The atmosphere and ambience was perfect and the live entertainment added to experience instead of like other places, where it detracts with loud and pervasive noise levels. I would definitely visit again!
