I read about Loka and was excited to try it out. Made a reso for 9:00. They take your credit card and will charge you $25 per person if you don't show up. So I thought it was going to be packed inside. Nope. It was empty. There was one other party and the decor is very simple. I felt nervous that I was going to be trapped.
But the food was really great. For $100 you can try the whole menu (7 dishes) and its great to be shared with someone else. The menu apparently changes all the time but my favorites were:
- Lonza, Maple crema, burnt bread
- Pan Roasted Mushrooms, Aligot potatos, Deer lichen
- Tasting of Beets
They also have a couple of other items that are not part of the 7 courses. The Pig Mac, which is their take on the big mac and Pig Butter. The pig mac is a slider ($11) that really does taste like a big mac, but is made with pork instead of beef. Only knock on it is that there isn't much meat in it. The pig butter is similar to a pate and was really good...and a great deal for $5.
Would definitely come back again.
