I had lunch here with 4 of my co-workers. We were seated promptly. The service was quick despite how busy it was. We came for the Winterlicious menu.
For starters I had the Celery root puree with chicken confit, crisp skin, salted pistachio brittle & sage. This was the best course hands down. I was afraid when they submerged the crispy skin into the puree that it would get soggy. But surprisingly that wasn't the case. Even the sage was crispy. I enjoyed every component of this dish.
For the main I tried the Organic Trout with crispy artichokes, arugula, caramelized cipollinis & dill buttermilk dressing. The fish was perfectly cooked. My only let down was the skin not being crispy. That maybe a matter of personal taste. I really liked the crispy artichokes. Also I felt like it wasn't a cohesive dish. It was missing something that could bring it all together.
For dessert I had the Honey Bourbon Sage Crème Brulee and whipped shortbread cookies. The shortbread cookie sat on top of some sort of berry jam. That jam was easily the best thing on the plate. I didn't get much of a bourbon flavor which I was looking for. I was disappointed that it was falsely advertised but it was damn good Crème brulee.
I had high expectations going in and for the most part my expectations were met. My friends were also impressed with the service and food. I would definitely recommend bymark.
