Frommer's Review
The word is out: Hip Mozaic is now the only place in town where you really need a reservation. Chris Salons, the French-trained American chef and owner, brings his own distinctive French-American cooking techniques and presentation to the restaurant, which was just listed in Le Grande Tables du Monde, a prestigious French culinary fraternity. He uses fresh local ingredients, all rich and delicious but healthy, with unique local dairy substitutes. A meal at Mozaic is a languid affair, best enjoyed in multiple courses, sopped up with good bread, chased with fine wine, and shared with friends. Give yourself at least 2 hours to really enjoy it. Daytime dining features light French fare served in a quiet patio area. The evening meal is an extravaganza of Continental specialties done with local flair and served in a lush garden dining area. Try the king prawns in chilled gazpacho, followed by a pan-seared Long-Nose Emperor filet done in a Laksa Indonesian yellow emulsion with rice noodles and baby turnips. Other specials include Australian beef tenderloin and local favorites like babi guling and Ubud crispy duck. Finish with a fine sorbet combining melon, cherry, and pomelo. Service is ultraprofessional, attentive without being intimidating, and the atmosphere is the right mix of elegant and casual -- the perfect romantic evening.
