| - It's 4.35
It's overall very good(but it wasn't amazing that I can give it 4.5 or above. It was very very close though). All dishes were good but there wasn't a single dish that wowed us(Not a single dish that I would come back for alone). Service was good.
We had the regular tasting menu ($95 each). It's a 5 course meal but it's more like a 10 course meal because they provided a bunch of amuse bouche that's not listed on the menu. Overall it was very good value for the amount of food that you get(at least for this type of restaurant).
They offered complimentary distilled or sparkling water which was a nice gesture for this type of restaurant.
We are not drinkers so we got 2 non-alcoholic drinks:
-Pear Tea and lemon ($8): Good mixture of pear tea and lemon taste. Rating: 4/5
-Orange and Almond ($8): Could taste the orange but lacked almond taste. Rating: 3/5
For the tasting menu we had:
-To begin(don't know exactly what this is called as they didn't put it on the menu), they provided 4 small pieces of cream cheese puffs and 2 pieces of bite sided foie gras puff pastry: A very good way the start off. Nice delicate taste. Rating: 4/5
-English Peas: Beautifully plated with a chicken skin on the side. Nice crispness on the chicken skin. Rating: 4/5
-Hamachi, Zucchini, Preserved Lemon, Pinenuts: This was one of the highlights of the night. Nice big piece of hamachi. All the ingredients go so well together. Rating 4.5/5
-Pain au Lait: It's milk bread. Butter was served in a cute little glassware. It's better than average bread. Rating: 3.5/5
-Dungeness crab, chanterelle mushrooms, garlic scapes, carolina gold rice: Nice generous pieces of crab goes well with the other ingredients. Rating: 4.25/5
-Morel Mushrooms, shallots, potato, isigny creme fraiche: Very nicely plated. This was okay for me. Rating: 3.5/5
-Sea scallop, avocado, vadouvan, finger limes: This was the other highlight. Scallop was seared to perfection(very tender). Rating: 4.5/5
-Striped bass, baby artichokes, bluefoot chanterelles, hazelnuts: The bass was bit too salty on this one. The mixture of ingredients were okay. Rating: 3.5/5
-Rack of pork, swiss chard, walnuts, bing cherries: Nice piece of pork and again very tender. Great mixture when eating with the cherry sauce. Rating: 4/5
-Moulard duck, fennel, treviso, pistachio: The duck was a little bit tough. Very nice piece of pistachio. Rating: 3.75/5
-Sheep's milk yogurt, tomatillo, rye berries: It's for cleansing our palette before going into dessert. Nice little cool treat. (I won't rate this.)
I think the dessert really fell short here. Although it was nicely plated. Taste wise it was not very memorable.
We had:
-Carrot, chamomile, lemon balm: This was okay. Plating looked nice. Didn't quite go well together. Rating: 3/5
-Rhubarb, almond, black pepper: This was a weird dessert. As there were veggies on the side. Rating: 3/5
-Dark chocolate, mint: This was better. Nice dark chocolate taste. Rating: 4/5
I would like to try the tasting menu at the bar next time.
