i always though of the customs house restaurant as an overpriced, touristy, entertainment venue. when i read they had relabeled it to patina, we just had to take a look. i booked it for my wife's birthday.
upon arrival, the venue is impressive. the table wasn't ready yet, so we were offered a drink in the lounge while waiting.
we had a table on the river as i requested. better views of our lovely bridge is impossible.
the food choice is good. unfortunately, they ran out of the home grown mushrooms on the night, which are actually grown underneath customs house. nothing to complain about, almost spectacular. a bit too "clean", which is hard to describe.
all in all a special place to take a special person.
