| - We came in as a group for a bachelorette dinner for the tasting menu. We all left stuffed and completely not ready for a night of clubbing (a nap wouldn't been preferable).
Drinks- I tried the Billie Joe, a gin and cucumber concoction (very nice and surprisingly refreshing) and others tried the Penelope, a sake and pomegranate drink (an upgrade on the sweet girly drink). The bride to be got the drink pairing with the tasting menu -- it included sake (which she wouldn't share because it was apparently too tasty) and a glass each of a red (Malbec) and white (Pinot Grigio) that we're equally good.
Food-
-spicy tuna tartare with waffle fries: the fries were more like waffle chips, but man were they good. I ate way too many. Very tasty combo. Just the right amount of spicy!
- ceviche with sweet potato chips: similar in presentation to the tartare, this was a fresh and less heavy alternative. This was probably the favorite for our table (for the entire dinner).
- sashimi combination: surprisingly fresh! I'm spoiled by LA sushi, and this definitely stood up to my standards. Gave me an opportunity to try fish I don't normally get (like amberjack)
- shishito, cauliflower and pistachio: we had a nut allergy so missed on the pistachios. I love roasted shishito peppers, so I enjoyed these, but they weren't particularly innovative like the rest of the menu.
- Rhode Island calamari: sweet calamari. Tasty on its own, but didn't fit with the rest of the tasting menu :( might be biased since this was one of the last fried appetizers brought out so we were a little tired of *fried* at this point. I, personally, would've liked it better with some spicy kick.
- Blue crab hush puppies: I could eat crab for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so I could be biased, but I loved these. I also ate an entire plate by myself. Once again, fried :(
- deviled egg and fried oyster: I don't like deviled eggs and at this point I was taking a break from eating so I didn't try. The tables consensus was that they were ok. None of us are deviled egg people.
- seasonal tempura: it was just tempura. Good tempura, but not something that will bring me back to other mama on its own. Also....fried.
- roasted cauliflower: Love. I've been thinking about this roasted cauliflower all week. I also think I ate the entire shared plate of this....
- prime NY steak and more waffle fries! : very tasty steak. Fit nicely with their waffle fry chips.
- whole grilled fish + sweet potatoes: this was different for me, but very moist and flavorful. I'd choose this over the steak again.
- kim chee fried rice: I normally love kim chee fried rice, but I it was a little heavy on onion for my taste.
I will definitely be coming back! Thank you for the wonderful dinner!
