| - Terra. It's the restaurant you've seen 100 times while grabbing your latte from the Starbucks next door. I dined here once several years ago, and could have sworn it was French/Italian fusion, but the menu last Friday night was French. Don't be intimidated by this, as there is something that everyone will enjoy.
After a day spent moving furniture, mattresses, etc. (the joys of moving), we had worked up a SERIOUS appetite. To begin, we split the carpaccio du jour, which came with balsamic onions and gorgonzola. I love onions of all shapes and sizes, but cooked in balsamic? Oh man, oh man. Scrumptious.
I ordered the duck confit as my entree, which comes served with a side of flageolet beans and sausage. These are a thinner, more delicate looking kidney bean, and I absolutely adored them. The duck was tender and very good, but sadly I preferred the duck confit at Rooster's a bit more. I like a more salted, briny flavor.
I sampled the fish of the day which was a poached halibut that was flavorful and ever so healthy.
The restaurant has a definite European feel to it. It is elegant and relaxed at the same time. I would love to enjoy some lovely wine and appetizers on the patio before catching a flick at the Manor. Sounds heavenly right...about...now...
