| - Deep in Anthem in a strip mall, you will find David Clawson Restaurant (DCR). Not an ideal location for the experience I was about to have, but I can overlook that! My husband and I walked in and the woman at the door was very friendly and seated us right away. There are booths on one side of the restaurant and tables on the other, while a counter takes control of the center of the restaurant. The overall feel of the place was comfortable. The decor is simple and probably the only thing I would tweak is that. Simple, borderline minimal. While it presented a clean fresh look, I do think they could add a little something to make it feel a bit more cozy.
Our waiter Sean was very helpful, even charming I would say! He was very patient with all my questions about the menu. The menu....one side is the liquor. They serve beer, wine and sake (perhaps no liquor license yet?) The other side is the food. The interesting part is this: 1) you can have any of their alcohol in 2 oz., 5 oz., or bottle servings and 2) each alcohol is paired with each item on the menu and they are categorized on each side of the menu so it's completely dummy proofed for us! Haha! The wines were delicious and paired so nicely to each course, as I suppose David Clawson intended them to be! Well played Sir!
The food: unbelievable!!!! Each dish was phenomenal! They begin by bringing out a piece of salmon sashimi, beautifully cut and placed on a slab of pink Himalayan salt (my guess) as perhaps a palette cleanser? Not sure but it was like a sneak preview of things to come and it was amazing! We ordered:
-oysters...amazing
-pork belly...melts in your mouth. Served with a pear sauce. Amazing!
-tuna...served on rice crackers, amazing
-duck confit...seriously the best thing I had! Served in a jus with blueberries and a risotto cake. The flavor with the blueberries was perfect
-sea bass...phenom!!!! miso broth with bok choy and mushroom. The broth itself could have been a meal!!
-crab cake....more crab than cake. Moist and light.
-potatoes ...heaven!!!! That's it!
-Gouda cheese plate-if you like truffle it's amazing. My husband does, I don't. But the little crackers served with this plate are so good!!
-irish crime brûlée...I am a huge creme brûlée eater. It's one of my faves. This was one of my favorites ever! It's amazing!
And finally....Sean brought out two little truffles with our check. He said they were white chocolate basil rolled in crunched pistachios. Ok! I'm not a big truffle fan. Bite. OMG!!!!!!! Best thing ever!!!!! The creaminess of the white chocolate center, the perfectly balanced yet intense flavor of the basil and the subtle crunch of the pistachio's.....I haven't stopped thinking about these little pockets of heaven!!!! They are seriously so amazing!! They should sell them!!!!!!!
So there we have it folks!!!! The food was some of the best I've had, and I've had lots of food!!!! The staff was helpful and friendly. The chef met us at the door to say goodnight as we left. It really was amazing all around!!!' We will be back very shortly!!!!
