I went with the 3 course option and so did the partner.
The service was awkward. Our server seemed distracted and didn't show much enthusiasm about the food. It felt like he was trying super hard to be in the present but never really made us feel like he wanted to be there.
The first "crudo" dishes were meh. I had the albacore and it lacked flavor. My partner had the ahi and it was much more palatable. I liked the crunch and acidity of the apple.
For our second courses, I went with the raviolo and my partner went with a grilled mozzarella (which is not house made). Both dishes were packed with flavor. I especially loved the dates pared with the cheese. The quail ragu was excellent. I loved the added sweetness of the carrots. The raviolo was good, however the yoke was overcooked so when I cut into it I didn't get the bright-yellow gooeyness I was anticipating.
I told my partner not to get the squid ink risotto, but he went against my judgement and got it. The risotto looked like a bowl of motor oil. He took three bites. It tasted like poorly cooked tuna casserole.
I had the pork belly. The flavor packed into the tomatoes was amazing. Loved it. However, the pork belly was not executed well. There was no sear, no crispness, so it felt like eating pure fat. I ended up cutting off the top and just scraping the tomatoes off to eat with the meatier bits.
The crostada was a pleasant surprise. My partner and I both agreed it was the best dessert we've had so far in our eating adventures. The mixed cocktails were also wonderful. We went with the Sun Also Rises and Grape Expectations (two of my favorite books).
I really wanted Crudo to work out, but there were just too many details missed. It was not consistent. The service could definitely improve and while the food has all the elements of flavor implemented, they need to take more time to execute it well.
