Bookmark removed! I am so glad we finally got to try this place. If you are not in a rush, treat yourself to a wonderful and intimate dining experience.
The 5 of us arrived for a birthday celebration Saturday at 630. Reservations are recommended due to the small dining area and they can only accommodate up to 6 people in a party. Our coats are taken and we are seated right away. We decide to go for the 7 courses for $85 rather than the 5 courses. We opted out of the truffle add on for $60. We started with a bottle of cava rosee for $80 and then went with a French recommendation for $60.
Bread and olives are delicious and they will bring more bread if you finish.
The menu changes with whatever is fresh but here is what we had:
1. Spanish mackerel with citrus dressing and fennel. My fave of the night.
2. Heirloom carrot, leek, porcini and chrons (tubar -- root veggie)
3. Scallop and marcona almond, broccoli long pepper sauce.
4. Japanese eggplant with smoked bonito smoked over hay....nagi onions and fried onions.
5. Nova Scotia Hagfish, pureed potatoes and cider sauce. Amazing!
6. Duck with shredded duck wing and chanterelle mushrooms. Beans and sausage with foie gras.
7. Quince sorbet with pumpkin and pistachio...with fresh persimmon

The meal was 4 hours. I love long meals with good friends. Having said that, I think it took a little too long between course 6 and 7.
Total cost with tax and tip was approx. $715 for 5 people.
Definitely a great place to check out on a special (or any!) occasion.
