My first visit to Lottē felt more like a welcome home. The entire crew was extremely friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about their craft; a chic interior design was upscale cool and inviting using natural tones and warm lighting with a bangin’ playlist bumping through the speakers. My server, Merci, was a delight - she set me up at the Chef’s Table and explained that their seasonal menu had just changed the day prior, so all of their offerings were fresh and seasonal, and locally sourced! On a quick work trip, I was initially looking for a solid meal after a long week, but was surprised by the refreshing punch packed in every aspect of my dining experience. I was up close to the action in their open concept kitchen, getting to see and smell all of the dishes going out to different tables, but the most memorable part of the Chef’s Table seat was witnessing the detail that goes into each plating. As I enjoyed my refreshing cocktail and amuse bouche, provided by the head Chef after a quick hello donning his fly Lottē SnapBack (that they offer for purchase!), I got to watch the magic happen and form on each plate that left the pass. Each dish was well balanced and had a wide palette of flavors that complimented one another while unlocking a new pairing that revitalized my appreciation for simple ingredients! Fresh heirloom tomatoes with stone fruit and chili seasoned peanuts? Spectacular. Their dishes aren’t pretentious, they give respect and showcase the beauty of using seasonal ingredients for maximum enjoyment while elevating the presentation. Thank you for having me, Lottē team, I can’t wait to come back!
