Jewels Lutovsky This is located off of 8th and not Bellevue Way, in the old Ruths Chris location.
My friend and I chose the Chef Kaurna Long who is the owner of Sophons, located off Greenwood, close to Greenlake and Beths Cafe.
The experience starts off with checking in, getting your table map, and seat numbers, and they give you a small gold ducky for a drink token. You get your drink and then have numerous spots to sit down. They have a shimmering gold backdrop for photos, and you can take as many as you like. They notify everyone when the stairs are open and the dining area is ready to be seated.
My only complaint that the plastic chairs were so uncomfortable and were poking into my thighs, so I couldnt sit back in the chair and had to sit on the front of the chair for the full 2.5 hours.
The dinner experience includes 3D artwork that plays over the table while you eat, and is changed with each course. The Chef also came out numerous times to tell us about himself, where he gets his food locally, and how he uses his Cambodian upbringing to include in his food.
The dinner starts off with an appetizer that is like a Cambodian Chicken Nugget and very good. Then you get a cured fish dish, 4 hour braised short ribs, Sophons signature braised pork belly, and then ended with a Cambodian mochi donut.
It was a fun and unique experience, and the Chef and the food was amazing! The meat was so moist and everything was prepared perfectly! I highly recommend checking out Sophon, as I will be going to get some more of his Signature braised pork belly!
