We went to Shoku on Christmas Day for the Christmas Menu. We made an early reservation at 1:30 which means we get there when it is quieter and less crowded, which we like. There was Christmas music playing of all the old favorites. The service was excellent throughout the meal with someone filling our wine glasses as needed, taking empty plates away promptly, and ensuring that we didn't need anything. The menu was delicious with two options for each course. I had the mushroom and chicken cannelloni and my husband had the traditional Catalan soup, Escudella y Carn D'olla, with was flavorful and plentiful. Then we both had the sea bass in a Catalan Sauce, and Apple Strudel with pistachio ice cream for dessert. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. All included wine and a final dessert of turrones and cookies for our sobremesa time. The price was very reasonable for this delicious meal. We will definitely go back.
