Knife Pleat is a 1 Michelin Star Restaurant that serves exceptional cuisine. The duck confit is a must-try, and the appetizers and desserts are also excellent. The 3-course lunch special on weekdays is highly recommended. The service is phenomenal, with friendly servers, although it can feel rigid and unrefined at times. The restaurant offers a creative and tasty menu, with a focus on vegetables, and the wine pairings are excellent. The afternoon tea service is also impressive, with beautifully presented savory and sweet items, including standout dishes like the beet-cured salmon and Maine lobster eclair. Recently, diners praised the quality and freshness of the food, describing it as mouthwatering from start to finish, with dishes that speak to different tastes. The atmosphere is lovely, and the service remains unparalleled, with everything flowing smoothly and staff explaining dishes in detail. The restaurant is located inside South Coast Plaza, on the Penthouse Level, near Louis Vuitton, making it a very upscale and boujee spot. Guests have enjoyed celebrating special occasions here, with some describing it as one of the best dinners they've ever had. The menu includes a variety of dishes such as the Crescent Farm duck, which many consider the best they've tasted, and a range of excellent appetizers and desserts like the chocolate star and quince soufflé. The drinks menu is also highly praised, with many cocktails presented beautifully and enjoyed by all. Despite the high prices, Knife Pleat remains a top choice for a memorable culinary experience and special occasions.
