The Consulate

Not only is the food absolutely delicious, but they story behind the menu is incredible! They change out the menu every few months and the chef creates all of the recipes for the new menu. Everything we’ve eaten here has been cooked and seasoned perfectly. Nothing is ever over or undercooked. Even the appetizers are perfectly cooked and a celebration of flavors! The atmosphere is so posh and comfortable and the service is exceptional! We feel like royalty every time we go. We are already planning our next group date night there.

We liked the concept so went for dinner and tried over 7 dishes from the menu. They were on Ireland for the VISA menu at this time. We ordered from both menus to really get a full experience. Everything was good, portions are smaller than what we are used to here in the US tho. But I think the idea is to order alot and share everything with the table so you get to try as much as the chef has to offer.

Quite possibly the best evening atmosphere in the city with a constantly evolving international menu to match. Simply waiting for a table in the lounge is an experience of it's own. Highly recommend for several visits as the menu changes cuisine by country of origin regularly.

This is the second wedding anniversary my husband and I have spent at the consulate; and it was truly just as great as the first! We were thrilled to see our favorite from the previous Korean menu still available! (Bulgogi squid ink pasta a CANT miss!) The waiter informed us of a possible longer drink time due to a staffing issue, and it wasn’t a problem at all! Drinks were fast and delicious. The most special part of our evening was the very sweet owner, who took a moment to indulge my numerous questions about the STUNNING interior design! All in all my husband and I have decided we will be spending all of our anniversary’s here from now on :) Also also: the matcha mousse was hands down the best dessert we’ve ever had!

Tabby was in town and in usual Tabby flow she was exploring the atlasobscura website and came across The Consulate. As such, we decided to go. We had reservations for 06:15 on a Friday. Arriving about 20 minutes early as traffic happened to be light, we were able to be seated early without any issues. Upon entering the restaurant the hallway decor captures your attention as you focus on the selected hues of blue and artwork placement. Upon being seated we were immediately greeted by Cindy. Cindy arrived all smiles coupled with a huge personality and warm welcome. As this was our first time she took a moment to explain to us the menu selections, geographical inspiration, as well as answer the few questions we had about select items. Cindy’s education of the menu and experience with the foods added to the food deciding experience. Major shout out to Cindy. The ambiance of the restaurant is high energy, captivating and explorative. As you look around the restaurant it puts you in the mindset of being inside one of the classic true to theme castles in an Indiana Jones or Tomb Raider movie. LoL! At any moment Laura Croft could walk in and grab one of the items on display and head out for her next mission. LoL! I decided on the String Beans with a side of Mexican Rice and I was more than satisfied with the flavor profile of my meal. The string beans were flavor stacked with the slight sweet from the sauce and the spice from the peppers. The texture was spot on for a true sautéed experience as well as the portion was perfect… The Mexican rice paired well with the string beans as it provided a texture variation as well as it was seasoned well but not overpowering in comparison to the string beans. This was truly a 10/10 experience. The service, the environment, and the food were all superb. Whether for a personal 2 person dinner or after work friend vibe, The Consulate is truly a must try for any occasion.
