| - Hubby and I finally decided that Restaurant Week was the opp to make the trek down to Crudo and find out what all the fuss is about...bottom line -- generally quite good, and the highs were REALLY high, so we give it 5 stars even though the food was inconsistent.
Crispy pigs ears were delish, but the hands-down best stuff is the crudo...albacore was amazing, as was the yellowtail. Next time, the whole meal will be just plate after plate of those.
Cheese courses were disappointing -- burrata was good, but needed either more bacon and arugula, or a smaller ball of cheese, while the ricotta with honey and walnuts was grainy and the bread/toast was scorched rather than grilled.
Semolina gnocchi was good, but the squid ink risotto was a disappointment. I know its a Crudo signature dish, but ours was not really flavorful and lacked creaminess.
Desserts? Out-freaking-standing! Chocolate olive oil cake was really lovely, but you'd sell your first born for another taste of that butterscotch pot de creme. Yeah, we'll be back.
