We visited Cowell & Hubbard for the first time last night and we were very pleased as we usually are with Zack Bruell's restaurants.
We arrived a bit early for our 7:45 reservation and they seated us very quickly which was nice. Our table was great because we could watch the open kitchen where Chef Bruell was busy expediting.
For starters, we enjoyed the seafood dumplings and pork stack which both paired nicely with our bottle of wine. Both apps were unique, tasty and enough for a meal. The dumplings were not typical stuffed dumplings. I don't even think there were wrappers so the dish was lighter than you expect. Very good! The pork was amazing too.
We moved on to entrees where I had the duck breast and my husband had the beef cheeks. Again, both were fab. The duck was perfectly cooked with a crispy skin. The curry sauce was so delicious with it, yet not overpowering. The braised beef was equally good.
We had to pass on dessert because we were so full. Maybe next time and there will definitely be a next time.
