Review Pelanggan untuk Wilshire

I dined here for my first anniversary with my boyfriend and I must say, I made the right decision. This place emanates a romantic picturesque vibe and endorses an exemplary dinner-date situation. Complimented with the right hue, this spot makes you feel content in place with your significant other.

Food and beverages: 4.5/5
I decided to try out their Pan Fried Duck Confit with Waffles and TWG Tea (Golden Rose) while my boyfriend opted for Burrito Bowl, Korean Wings and Monkey See, Monkey Do mocktail.

- Korean Wings: As an appetizer, ten pieces of chicken, drums and 5 wings, sure was fulfilling. The dressing was stickily sweet and savoury at the same time, luring you to take bite after bite of this hors d'oeuvre. The meat itself was generous and tender. There wasn’t any downside from this dish.

- Pan Fried Duck Confit: Next up, pan fried duck confit was served with two pieces of waffles, a sunny side up, and custard infused maple syrup. At first, I was perplexed by the combination but believe it or not this course was delectably scrumptious! Somehow the warm waffle along with the egg mashed well with the tender, well-seasoned meat of the duck. Duck confit itself was fried to a crispy golden brown, with crispy skin and soft flesh.Custard infused maple syrup tasted similar to the sweetness of soy sauce but it tied the whole dish perfectly.

- Burrito Bowl: This course consisted of cilantro rice, mexican black beans, guacamole, salsa, corn salsa, sour cream, and an option of grilled beef, crispy pork belly, egg or chicken. We opted for grilled beef. I tried all the toppings one by one before deciding to mix the whole thing together; I set aside the sour cream and guacamole since my boyfriend didn’t like those. Grilled beef was seasoned right, cooked well, and moderately sized. Both salsas (tomato and corn) was a bit too sour for my taste, so was the sour cream. Guacamole wasn’t pounded so it was still in the form of avocado. All in all, mixed together it was quite alright. There wasn’t any distinctive factor that makes this course stands out.

- TWG Tea (Golden Rose): This particular tea had become my recent favorite. Its alluring, sweet, and somewhat sensual flavor, contributes to the whole idyllic ambience Wilshire offers.

- Monkey See, Monkey Do: Had a texture and taste of banana milkshake blended with peanuts. Very sweet and dessert-like. Adorned with three small pieces of banana with peanut sprinkles.

Ambience: 5/5
I really love their picturesque setting. With paintings of roses on some sides of the wall, stacked chandeliers, gold-listed clear panoramic mirror providing view of the road below, fuschia flowers all around, vintage ornaments, marble tables, leather sofa, and polished floor, this place is suitable for an upscale romantic dinner. There’s something about the place that makes you want to linger around for quite a long moment. Wilshire is as good as it looks in the picture, truly photogenic.\
Service: 5/5

Waiters were so attentive, skilled, and friendly. They waited patiently and always with a smile. They didn’t hesitate when I asked them to take pictures repeatedly and when I left my specs, they returned it to me even after I had left the building.

Highlight: The romantic and classy vibe Wilshire offers is perfect for a dinner date. The lighting is complimentary and the place is photogenic. As for the food, try the Duck Confit with Golden Rose Tea! ❤️
