I went I'm with high expectations and left feeling happy. Let me start off by saying that I'm a huge huge huge Scott Conant fan I'm sure just like along with a lot of other people writing a review. I have been telling my husband for almost a year now that we have to come here we have to try it out. And my lovely husband surprised me Friday night with reservations to have dinner here.
We had a 7pm dinner reservation and wow this place was packed just tons of people all age ranges. The inside of the restaurant is so awesome very hipster looking. I don't remember our waiters name or anyone but the staff has the most amazing customer service everyone was so friendly and helpful.
So let's get down to what we are for dinner! We didn't do the typical order an appetizer and an entree we both did the sampler which I recommend everyone getting. It's all of Scott's favorite items off the menu so you can sample everything. To start it comes with the Focaccia di Recco which was like a giant cheese pizza with no sauce. It was full of flavor and empty cheesy goodness. Next it came with our salads which were the Radicchio & endive salad and the Burrata... I absolutely loves the Burrata the eggplant mixed with the mascarpone cheese was such a nice combo. After that it was on to the warm appetizers and my husband loved these we got the pork & veal meatballs and the polenta "boscaiola".. he said it was the best meatball he ever had in his life and for a first time having polenta he said both were so tasty and didn't feel too heavy in the belly. Ok so after all these yummy treats it was on to pasta. So here is where the staff told us to just take a bite and get it bagged to go. Which we total recommend that is the best way because remember we still have a giant pork chop coming and desserts. As for our pasta it came with Pasta al Pomodoro and the Black Campanelle.. we no joke took one bite and had the waiter bag it. Lol! And let me tell u all we heated up that pasta the next day and it tasted even better then Friday night. And our main dish was the Grilled Niman Ranch Pork Chop. This pork chop was the size of my face still with the bone in. I have never had a pork chop that big in my life and I'm so glad my husband and I shared it I would never of been able to finish it on my own. So we waiting a few and had dessert.. it comes with a chocolate lava cake with hazelnut ice cream along with a watermelon sorbet. Holy crap both were soooooooo goood I would go just for those 2 things lol. But no i would go and eat and eat and eat again.
We didn't end dinner until about 9:30.. so u are feasting for a good 2.5 hours and it's worth every penny.. so go enjoy and try it all so you can say you did and it's all amazing I'm so glad we finally came enjoyed dined and ate.
