| - My boyfriend and I have been looking forward to trying Cure since it opened, and it definitely met our expectations at dinner last Friday night. Cure has got it all figured out: food, service, and ambiance.
When we entered the restaurant at 6:30, we noticed that all of the tables were full (except ours), yet it didn't seem overcrowded. The tables weren't too close together; we didn't feel like we had to whisper so as not to disturb the neighboring tables.
We had the Salumi appetizer (I don't eat meat, but that mustard was unlike anything I've ever had!). I'd also highly recommend the heirloom tomato appetizer (watermelon, basil, white balsamic foam, pine nut brittle, goat cheese, and fennel pollen). I had the trout as my entree, and I can't say enough good things about it. It was light and not at all greasy, and the creamy almond aioli paired perfectly with it.
Nice touches:
-Corkage fee is CHEAP!
-The chalkboard lists all of the local farms that Justin buys from...It even notes what he buys from each farm. Loved the heirloom tomatoes? Now you know where to buy them.
-Michael Pollan books in the women's bathroom :)
-Justin, the chef and owner, seems like a truly nice guy. He was smiling and talking to customers, and he didn't seem to have that suuuper cocky attitude that head chefs tend to have.
-#13 out of 50 best new restaurants in the COUNTRY according to Bon Appetit magazine... enough said!
