| - Five of us went to C & H for V-day dinner, of course the ambient was set up for one romantic night, with rose petals on the aisle and smooth medium lighting to provide that soothing ambient. We took awhile to order due to amazingly great menu. For appetizer, we ordered Fois Gras Donut topped with orange gastrique sauce. This is a must-get, the donut is so juicy inside, perfect combination with the sauce. Now moving on to the main entree, we ordered:
APPETIZER
FOIS GRAS "DONUTS"
Three donuts filled with natural juices of duck liver and served on top of orange gastrique sauce!!
ENTREES:
1. CRISPY GIANT PORK SHANK
Upon the arrival of the plate, you can smell that lingering "pork fat" smell that just increases your appetite level up a notch. What's perfect about it is hearing the searing of the knife against the crispy skin of the shank. The shank is so tender, however I felt the kale and thyme dumplings lacking flavor.
2. BEEF CHEEKS
I have never tried beef cheeks before, so I was initially curious to the texture and consistency of the meat. Cheeks served on top of a bed of sweet caramelized onions soup, and topped with mexican salsa peppers. If you have never tried cheeks, this is right time to try it. I LOVE THIS DISH!
3. RED FISH
As a visitor from California, I have tried many best seafood restaurant in California. Let me say this dish definitely brings the rating -1 star, due to lack of seasonings and tastes very BLAND. We felt so bad that we asked for more garlic salt and pepper. However, the waiter did not manage to ressurect the problem by offering a new dish to compensate the lack of quality on this dish. I highly do NOT recommend this dish at all.
4. LAMB BREAST
This dish deserves 5 stars. Amazingly done Lamb Breast, also included some portion of lamb fat. This dish is the highlight of our night, so tender and perfect.
5. BRAISED BEEF SHOULDER
Amazingly done once again, beef shoulder braised to perfection and filled with its natural juices really makes this dish feel healthy and light.
SERVICE:
We were given 2 pieces of french bread, olive oil, and himalayan salt per person. However, they progressive only gave us a total of 5 pieces of bread that night, ODDLY shaped french bread (like the ends of french bread). I kept telling myself that this is sort of fine dining, but how could you give out your diners bread end curmbs??
OVERALL:
I enjoyed the experience and food. If I am going back to Ohio, I will definitely try the Beef Cheeks, Crispy Pork Shank, and the Lamb Breast. The other two dishes that I got were not that statisfactory, aka, I can get them somewhere else.
