We had a wonderful dinner here last night. tapas style with an extensive wine list (as one would expect), knowledgeable servers, and classy yet unpretentious ambiance.
We started with a glass of Italian white paired with our half dozen west coast (cocktail) and half dozen east coast (pacific lambitini) oysters. They were well shucked minus some small shell fragments in two oysters and served with lemon, pineapple mignonette (a little overpowering) and fresh shaved horseradish. The oysters were definitely fresh and were two varieties neither of us had tried.
Next, on server recommendation we had the truffled deviled eggs and the beef carpaccio. We loved the deviled eggs. The carpaccio was tasty but a little heavy handed on the salt and the dish could have used a little more acid.
Finally we split a charcuterie board with three semi-soft/hard cheeses, two meat choices and accompaniments of various breads/crackers, pickled vegetables, mustard, and a delicious mango chutney. With this, we had a glass of the Mourvedre and the Malbec. Both were nicely representative of their varietals.
Overall we had a wonderful time and would certainly return with friends.
