the drinks are nice. i ordered the pear vodka drink but they were out so i had a basil gimlet instead, very nice. others were having a side car, some raspberry drink and a margarita....
complement from the chef, the amuse bouche plate had different pickled roots, a bit too salty for me...
for the starters, i had the heirloom tomato salad and a side order of the bone marrow. the tomatoes were sweet, delicious!
and the bone marrow was tasty on toasted baguette...
others were having, a cesar salad, nice presentation!
some kind of salad with chorizo, pretty!
entrees, i had the scallop, good enough! i ordered a glass of viognier and they were out too! i had a chardonay instead, good enough!
one had the halibut, i didn't try but it looked very nice...
and the roasted chicken, looked good!
the roasted pork ramen with soy both and partridge egg sunny side up, fancy! i never had partridge egg before, and actually have never seen a partridge before in my life, hmmm.... anyway, my friend said it was a bit on the salty side.
desserts, this usually is the good part of the dinner but not here. we had the 3 things of chocolate and it came with the milk shake. the chocolate cake/mousse/gelato were all good but the milk shake was lumpy, it made from powder milk! yuk! and we thought that was a cookie on top of the chocolate mousse but no - it was a thin slice of toasted baguette, drizzled with olive oil. was it a mistake or a new twist combining sweet and savory for dessert??? who know but either way, it was not a good idea to me...
the rootbeer float, not good. i did not like, very disappointed.
overall, i like this place. a bit on the pricey side, small portions (which i like), nice atmosphere, nice staff, good food but choose your dessert wisely....
