We made a reservation to celebrate our 6 year wedding anniversary December 7, therefore we enjoyed the Autumn Tasting Menu (5 course menu)

They reached out prior to our arrival to obtain certain information, that in itself had me looking forward to our evening.
.
When we arrived we were able to see the results of the information they asked for. The attention to detail was outstanding.

We had personalized menus. The level of service we received from the entire staff was exceptional.

I took photos of the food, but will not be posted so as to not ruin the experience for you. What I can say is that every dish was well thought out and was exceptionally delicious and Michelin star quality.

The only picture I will post is the one of their dessert display and our anniversary cake.

Ingredients were fresh, but the menu tasting did not have that wow factor. Too pricey for the quality and quantity of food. The courses were mediocre at best.

The best meal I’ve had in all of my life and worth every penny. How this restaurant has only one Michelin star is beyond me. The 9 course tasting menu was absolute perfection that it’s impossible to pick one favorite course. The caviar trio was to die for and the crispy skin on the kinmedai was unlike anything I’ve ever tried. Would love to come back again!

I had the pleasure of dining at O’ by Claude recently, and it was an absolutely exceptional experience from start to finish. The perfect blend of French elegance and a Californian twist really sets this place apart, but what made it truly special was the service from Fadhelah and Robert.

Fadhelah, our front server, was fantastic. She knew the menu inside and out, and her recommendations were spot-on. The caviar was a luxurious start, and the Wagyu? Simply melt-in-your-mouth perfection. Her professionalism and warmth made the evening feel effortless and elevated—exactly what you’d expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant.

Then there was Robert, our back server, who was an absolute shining star. His enthusiasm for what he does is infectious, and you can tell he takes real pride in delivering a top-notch experience. It’s not hard to see why O’ by Claude earned its Michelin status—every detail was perfect, and Robert’s energy added an extra spark to the evening.

The ambiance in the Fire Room was just the icing on the cake. The warm glow of the flames, combined with incredible food and flawless service, made the whole experience feel like something truly special. And honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if the “O” in O’ by Claude stood for “Ovation,” because this restaurant definitely deserves one.

All in all, O’ by Claude is a Michelin-worthy gem, and with a team like Fadhelah and Robert, the service matches the incredible food. I’ll definitely be back for another unforgettable night!
