| - Wow... I mean really... Wow.
I sat at the 'Chef's Table' overlooking the kitchen and it was like watching a gastronomic ballet. Fresh raw ingredients danced through the kitchen and came together to make dishes that were out of this world. I don't even need to describe it any more than that, check out the order below. Btw, special thanks to Owner and Head Chef Steve Schimoler who hooked up an amazing tasting dinner.
I was also here when the new Zagat ratings came out and Crop Bistro was rated one of Ohio's top restaurants. Totally agree, this place is off the chain!
Tasting Dinner Courtesy of Chef Steve!
1) Lobster Latte which is a drinkable lobster bisque. AHHmazing
2) Crop Corn with flash sauteed peppers and onions with balsamic drizzle. Like savoury sauteed popcorn. nom nom nom
3) Chile Deviled Eggs, Crisp Prosciutto. To get the pallet ready to rock
4) "Tobacco" Calamari, Gremolata, Lemon Basil Aioli (becasue they are cut like long cut chewing tabbacy)
5) cherry bomb with chorizo filling (Stuffed cherry tomato with sausage filling)

Beverages of the adult persuasion
1) Makers new fashioned with cinnamon & cayenne. Shout out to Stevie Jr. A must have if you like the brown stuff.
2) NASCAR with beer BBQ booze. Crazy different. More of a "Yea I got it" drink than a "yum this is great" drink. Fun though.
