| - I rarely give a five star review to a restaurant. It is a special confluence of relaxed atmosphere, good service, and stellar food that earn that designation for me. Hype is always a danger, but Cure has earned its reputation.
Our meal started with the SALUMI board, a selection of meats that varied from "delicious" to "if you try to take this away I'll stab you." I highly recommend sharing this appetizer with someone you love, but be warned, stealing the last piece of duck on that platter is grounds for divorce...
For our entree we shared the Pork and Squab plate. The server brought out our entree already split, on two plates, which was a nice touch (especially for no extra charge!) The pork and the squab fought for the title of best bite. My wife and I still disagree on which was better. The plate was garnished with roasted romaine lettuce, chanterelle mushrooms, and a mix of corn pudding and corn bread. Do not miss this dish if you have the chance.
For desert we sampled the cheese platter, and shared a chocolate souffle cake. Both of these deserts were good, but after that entree, honestly, everything is a blur...
