点评:We went on the Piano Boat as a family to celebrate mum's 90th birthday with 8 of us in the party. The pre-planning with the Piano Boat team was faultless taking into account our wishes for style of music and food. The experience certainly lived up to all expectations. The boat itself is beautiful and the performance space intimate and welcoming with the most beautiful sounding Steinway baby-grand piano. After being welcomed by the delightful owner Rhiana with a glass of champagne we went through a canal lock before our pianist Jill delivered a flawless and beautiful recital. The proximity to such a talented pianist and the magnificent tone of the piano is breathtaking.
Next up came the absolutely spectacular food prepared by Rhiana - Beetroot hummus with wholemeal lavosh flatbread, Cocktail sausages with apple sauce, Egg and herb roulade, Cucumber and dill salad (with sumac dressing on the side), Chicken skewers with salsa verde with lime juice, Pavlova with fresh fruit and cream and an amazing Tiramisu. It was all absolutely world-class and superbly catered for one of our gluten-free guests.
The whole experience was 4 hours across a late morning and afternoon, perfectly paced and just the right length. Rhiana and the team were brilliantly attentive but also kept a professional and respectful distance allowing us to celebrate as a family in this delightful and unique setting. 100% recommended.
翻译:我们一家八口乘坐钢琴船,为妈妈庆祝90岁生日。钢琴船团队的行前安排无可挑剔,他们充分考虑了我们对音乐风格和餐饮的要求。这次体验果然不负众望。船身精美,演奏空间温馨舒适,配备了一架音色绝佳的斯坦威小型三角钢琴。热情好客的船主瑞安娜为我们斟上一杯香槟,随后我们穿过运河船闸,钢琴家吉尔为我们带来了一场完美无瑕、美妙绝伦的演奏。能够如此近距离地欣赏如此才华横溢的钢琴家,聆听如此美妙的钢琴音色,真是令人叹为观止。
接下来是Rhiana精心准备的美味佳肴,绝对令人惊艳——甜菜根鹰嘴豆泥配全麦薄饼、鸡尾香肠配苹果酱、香草鸡蛋卷、黄瓜莳萝沙拉(佐以漆树酱)、鸡肉串配青莎莎酱和青柠汁、帕芙洛娃蛋糕配新鲜水果和奶油,以及令人赞叹的提拉米苏。所有菜肴都堪称世界一流,而且特别照顾到了我们一位对麸质过敏的客人。
整个体验持续了4个小时,从上午晚些时候到下午,节奏完美,时长恰到好处。Rhiana和她的团队非常细心周到,同时又保持着专业和尊重的距离,让我们能够在如此美妙独特的环境中享受家庭聚会的乐趣。强烈推荐!
