| - Went for a work dinner so I had the opportunity to try an assortment.
PROVISIONS:
Salt & Pepper Crispy Calamari $13
*chewy, under seasoned and Thai dipping sauce was too sweet
Steak Tartare $18
*underwhelming and a bit bland, I also think I would've preferred the tartare on seasoned crackers, just ok
ROLLED SUSHI
Baked Yuzu Crab Roll $16
Blue crab, topped with spicy tuna and Serrano peppers, soy paper
*this roll had the essence of crab and I liked the heat from the peppers and the spicy tuna tasted really fresh, I ate every last piece
ENTREES
Fresh Blue Crab Cakes $32
Pommery mustard sauce, gojuchang spice, summer squash with romesco
*really confused by this dish! I'm from Baltimore and these were a 1 on a scale of 1 to 100. Awful. No lump crabmeat (should've asked what part of the crab is used for the crab cakes). They were shredded bottom of the barrel crab, and densely packed and no sweet crab flavor not to mention the accompaniments were so bold it completely overwhelmed the crab! Don't waste $32, order something else.
New York Strip $35
*ordered medium rare, came out almost blue, sent back, they recooked the same piece of meat (found this a little odd) it was just ok, a little pricey for a strip steak and nothing would compel me to order this again.
DESSERT:
Flourless Chocolate Cake w/Pistachio Ice Cream
*pretty rich and decadent, everything you want in a chocolate cake, loved it, great portion couldn't finish it
COCKTAILS:
Your Money or Your Life: $11
Old Forester Bourbon, Benedictine, Combier, orange bitters. Good old-fashioned with a big ice cube.
Aunt Charlie: $10
Aylesbury Duck vodka, earl grey tea, honey-lemon shrug, served up. The server explained it was like an Arnold Palmer. This was not like an Arnold Palmer, the drink actually made me wince when I drank it. Personally not a fan and I would maybe ask for it on the rocks or substitute it w Tito's, I think the vodka tasted like rubbing alcohol.
