| - My first time at Senti. I had heard great things so I needed to try for myself. I was not disappointed.
First its important to note the description on their website, "authentic Italian food, traditional European service, and modern wining and dining." What stood out to me was the "traditional European service." Translated, that means sloooow. Please dont go to Senti if you are in a hurry or have to be somewhere by a specific time. My wife and I were seated for 2 1/2 hours! We knew that going in and were perfectly fine taking our time to enjoy the experience. The spacing of the food delivery allows you to eat slowly and savor the flavors while enjoying your wine. That's exactly what we did.
We started off with the cheese plate. There were 3 cheeses with some crostini, apple & pear slices, a very yummy mostarda and a pool of honey on the bottom of the plate. I couldnt tell you what the cheeses were but there was something like provolone, a soft white cheese and a blue cheese. It was perfect all around from flavors to sizes to pairings.
We skipped salads and pastas and went straight to entrees. I got the salmon off the menu and my wife got the special wahoo fish. We also got a side of brocollini. Ive never had salmon cooked so perfectly or with such flavor (from the honey mustard and dill sauce). My wife thoroughly enjoyed her wahoo which came on a bed of farro and spinach. Even the brocollini, which were sauteed with garlic, were cooked to perfection with tons of flavor.
For dessert, my wife's tiramisu was probably the best tiramisu Ive ever had. I got the Torta della Stagione which was an apple pie that day, with a side of cinnamon ice cream. The crust on the pie was unbelievable and the ice cream, the perfect complement.
I will definitely return and would recommemd trying here at least once. The only negative was the near $200 bill for two of us but it was well worth it.
