One of the reasons I love this city so much is because of all the exquisite dining experiences available to us.
This was a lovely evening from front to back. I was expecting this kind of experience. Lynn Crawford did not disappoint.
The custom tequila Diego Rivera cocktail (made me want to run out and catch the AGO exhibition) was slightly sweet and salty; a great way to begin. I love that they just serve you dinner here, family style... there's no humming and hawing about what to order, they have daily 4-course menus that are clearly well thought out and executed.
This night we dined on crispy braised rabbit salad (I had never tried rabbit before, had it not just been served to me I probably never would have) it was delicious. Next was pan seared steelehead trout with dill tartar sauce. This course had 4 sides (slaw, romaine hearts salad, roasted potatoes and a tomato feta salad). Frankly it was too much. Everything was delicious but just so much food! We couldn't finish our portion, we needed to keep room for the Cheese course served with beets and butternut squash, and dessert which was over the top. Dark chocolate ricotta cake with peanutbutter frosting. It was ridiculous. Neither of us could finish so we doggy bagged it.
The staff were all very attentive and personable; the space warm and inviting. I'll definitely return.
