My husband and I had dinner here last night to celebrate our third wedding anniversary. We chose to do the tasting menu which is not well highlighted on the menu, but is a fabulous choice! I opted to do wine pairings with it as well.
We began with a mushroom puree as a palatee cleanser. Our first course (paird with a Pinot Grigio) was a fig and heirloom tomato salad with a honey balsamic vinagarette. This was followed by succulent salmon with a mango type chutney (paired with a blush rose wine). There was a bit of a wait for the next entree but it was well worth it! Fresh made potato gnocchi with truffle oil. If you have never had truffle oil it is intoxicating. I have NEVER had anything so delicious in my life. Our final entree course was duck breast with apricot chutney (paired with a Caberbet). We finished this amazing tasting menu with a sampling of four dessert- chocolate type cake, oil olive cake, lemon cheesecake, and fresh berries and mango (paired with a dessert Pinot)
Overall, the meal was AMAZING. Our waiter was extremely knowledge and I not only walked away with a much better understanding of wine pairings and the wine making process, but I also recived a great lecture on the ins and outs of truffles. Interesting fact: the most expenseive truffle ever sold was at an auction. That volleyball sized truffle sold for $250,000. But I digress, the most important thing in this review is that if you have not been here, it is a Must-go!
