| - Stopped in for dinner on a Friday night. Even though they were busy, we were able to be seated right away. The restaurant is very large, full bar, the only downside is that is is very loud. The menu looks very tasty and they were also featuring a four course corn menu. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable and the service was outstanding.
We started with some appetizers, the Medjool dates (local chorizo, bacon wrapped and piquillo coulis). They were outstanding, it had a great contrast between the sweet from the dates and the spicy from the chorizo. Next was the pork belly (peach glaze, horseradish speatzle, citrus soy sauce, cucumber and cilantro). The combination of flavors worked well together, the only problem for me was the pork belly was dry and over cooked. We also tried their special of crawfish poutine w/fried egg. Executed perfectly, and a fried egg makes everything better. The Roasted asparagus (burrata, prosciutto, croutons and miso butter). The asparagus were cooked perfectly and I loved the combo of the salty prosciutto and the creaminess of the burrata.
Next we decided to try the September four course feature of corn. Course 1 was (corn and shrimp salad, coconut milk dressing, curry corn galette and corn shoots). The creaminess of the dressing complemented the shrimp and corn perfectly. Not really sure how I felt about the texture of the Galette. Course 2 (Tamale, chorizo, cheese and corn relish). This dish was spectacular. All the flavors worked perfectly together and I think the blue corn masa made all the difference. Course 3 (corn bread, bread pudding, cream corn, scallops and bacon jam). The cream corn was nice, and the corn bread bread pudding hybrid was cool, the sad part was the scallops were undercooked. Course 4 (corn pudding, corn crumbs, corn ice cream and poached nectarines). The pudding and corn ice cream were out of sight, I did not care for the poached nectarine, it was a little too tart. Overall we had a great experience and will definitely return.
