| - A beautiful restaurant with a simple and elegant menu highlighting farm-to-table ingredients (the farms/locations are featured on the menu). Since my visit in February, the menu has changed replacing seasonal dishes or simply adjusting existing dishes to reflect seasonal ingredients. I had a wonderful experience with delicious food that I'd love to eat again (soon)!
Snack Wagon ($8/each)
Hawaiian Ahi Poke: The tuna is beautiful with light flavors that make it undoubtedly poke. Delicious and served with a small portion of white rice.
Spinach and Smoked Trout Salad ($16): Arugula, farm egg, watermelon radish, goat cheese, and herb vinaigrette. I loved the combination of ingredients. The salad had great, harmonious flavors that made for a light, yet hearty salad. This would be something I would love to eat for lunch! Side note: the menu said beets, but we received watermelon radish instead.
Charred Octopus ($18): Harissa aioli, potato puree, and salsa verde. I'm a big fan of octopus and I am just loving the influx of restaurants offering this lovely sea creature. The octopus is insanely tender, so already, you're good there. The addition of the aioli and salsa verde separates it from the crowd. Beautiful flavors!
Charcuterie Board ($24): Foie gras torchon, housemade pate de champagne, pig head terrine, pork belly rillette, and country ham. The charcuteries offered are great and all of my favorite things. The rillette, pate, and torchon were standouts for me.
Sensi Naan Bread ($7): Beet top pesto, tomato chutney, and cucumber yogurt. The naan was fresh and fluffy, but had practically no flavor. Though the sauces are really nice, I would have liked to enjoy the bread by itself.
Bone-in Ribeye ($60): 18 ounces; dry aged USDA Prime. Since I inquired about the Filet Mignon described as grass fed, I was informed that all the meats were grass fed, however, had a grain finish (the exception being the Filet). The steak was beautiful. It's served with Bernaise and a red wine-based sauce. It didn't need either since it was seasoned well. It paired really well with the lobster!
Live Maine Lobster ($49): Grilled with local herbs and lemon butter. Served with fresh lemon and clarified butter. The lobster was split in half, length-wise, which made it really easy to eat. Also, the claws were prepped, so that it was also easy to remove its meat. Such a simple preparation done really well. What a treat!
Harvest Slow-Roasted Porchetta ($36): Lemongrass, lime leaf, and garlic; served with sambal. Oh my, the porchetta was truly outstanding and the best I've ever had! The pork was moist, juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. Additionally, their sambal had the most amazing flavor without being overly spicy.
Farro Porridge ($22): Foraged wild mushrooms, slow-cooked farm egg, and black summer truffle. This is the one dish that really stood out to me from my initial visit, so I had to order it. The farro is lovely and lends a great texture to the dish along with the flavors from the mushrooms and greens. The tender egg gives it another level of creaminess. Just an amazing dish that I would love to eat again and again.
Baby Broccoli or Broccolini ($10): Stone oven-roasted, flavors of tapenade. I love oven-roasted vegetables and specifically broccolini, so this was right up my alley. Plus, the tapenade was delicious!
Two dishes that I really enjoyed during my previous visit was the Eggplant Caviar (Snack Wagon) and Potato Gratin. Along with the Charred Octopus, Live Maine Lobster, Porchetta, Farro Porridge, and Broccolini, I highly recommend these plates! Also, their complimentary bread jar of crisps and breadsticks with cucumber yogurt are really good.
