| - This place doesn't get enough buzz in the burgh. I tried the opening dinner at cure and hadn't tried the actual restaurant until now. Not disappointed. It may have been the best small plate dinner we've had in a while... we ordered the oysters. They came with a fantastic ramp mignonette to compliment the buttery, slippery oyster. Superb. The next dish was tuna crudo with fresh peaches and salty crunchy mushrooms, with a sprinkling of some sprout like green herb and a chile oil.... so good. You should order it. The tuna was fresh and buttery, peaches were tart and sweet. We tried the octopus based on a review on yelp that mentioned how tender the octopus was. I tried octopus a few other places and was totally let down :::cough,cough, Tako:::::it's always been so rubbery and flavorless. This 'pus came with yogurt, dill, cucumber, nuts and was probably favorite of the evening. The last dish was the pork belly with peaches and some type of fruit compote. It was crispy, fresh, and amazing. We got the guell something and the menasco? Sour? The sour tasted like wine on the top, sour on the bottom. The guell tasted like a Spanish twist on Italian spritz... like soda water with some bitters and wine. Everything was great, can't wait to go back!!!!
