| - The Estate House is elegance. Prepare to be pampered by your chef Gio Osso, and the attentive staff at this American restaurant. Old world grace and East Coast charm meet here for a truly relaxing dining atmosphere.
Appetizers may appear to be your ordinary mix of salad, Ahi, and shrimp, but the combination of exotic ingredients will dazzle your taste buds. The House Salad is a sincere treat with roasted mission figs, toasted pine nuts, maytag blue cheese, and finished with an ice wine vinaigrette. Other appetizers are the sweet, sour, and spicy grilled shrimp, the slow braised short ribs, the berkshire pork belly, and my favorite: the Ahi Tuna Duo. Dark rum glazed tartare, and coconut seared - this is a unique twist on something you can order at virtually any restaurant in town. Appetizers range from $7-$15 here.
Entrees feature American favorites such as Grilled Filet Mignon, New York Strip, Colorado Lamb, Organic Irish Salmon, Handmade Fettucini, and crisp skinned black cod. Prices start at $21 and go up to $42. I had to have the filet mignon, a rare indulgence which chefs don't always get right. I was in heaven when I bit into the manchego potate cake with the roasted garlic spinash. The filet was incredibly juicy and flavorful, topped with the Italian chile butter.
Likely one will have no room for dessert after their sumptuous meal here, but it is worth saving room for the Chocolate Caramel Tartufo or the warm pumpkin cream filled donuts.
The upstairs of the house boasts a lively lounge. Plush couches and pillows are found on the rooftop terrace or Inside. Every night but Monday night has live music. Sundays is groovy house music and lots of dancing, courtesy of Dave Matthias.
The Drink menu is extensive. If you are undecided, or want to try something new, this is the spot to do so. Pages of martinis and cocktails will dazzle your eyes.
I sampled the Champage cocktail "honeysuckle, " with orange blossom honey, Cointreau, and champagne. The "Alsation apricot" with Barack pelinka apricot eau de vie, fresh apricot purée infused with thyme and lemon peel, lime, and prosecco was also a treat - but much too strong. I worked on that one for nearly an hour before succumbing to my next libation, "The Moroccan Mint."
This is a spot for taking a date, celebrating a special occasion, or for some swanky lounging on the weekends with friends. No happy hour or late night specials here...expect to pay full price and at least $50-$60 per person.
