Add a touch of sparkle to any fine dining experience
-
It's a pivotal moment when the maître d' brings you to your table, often arriving after much effort to get there. From poring over online reviews and MICHELIN ratings to scouring menus and reaching a consensus among your friends, planning a dinner out is a worthy, yet sometimes challenging, endeavour.
Whether it's a neighbourhood haunt, the new trendy spot or a reservation booked months ago, a restaurant dinner always feels special. It's an opportunity to be served attentively, savour delicious food and reconnect with your partner or friends after a long day. However, the dining experience begins once you take your seat and are asked: sparkling or still?
