| - Let me just preface this review by saying I don't eat meat. Fish, yes. Meat, no. My boyfriend was excited about making a reservation at Cure and looked forward to it all week. Me...not so much. I was worried I wasn't going to find anything I would enjoy on the menu. However, after our fantastic meal last weekend, I quickly changed my tune.
The atmosphere was what got me first. Rustic and simple, with tables that resembled cutting boards and no-frills table settings. It was dark, cozy, and perfect for a date night. Next came our menus...a piece of scorched paper, attached to a block of wood with a rubber band. Interesting.
I went straight for the fish entree, which that night, happened to be a swordfish conserva. It was served with "squid ink spaghetti, lobster- San Marzano tomato sauce, Meyer lemon, bagna cauda, parsley, artichoke" and sounded fabulous! My boyfriend went with a rabbit porchetta, which came with "almond, roasted garlic polenta, pickled fennel, pancetta, apple, lacinato kale." These descriptions are taken from the menu, which changes weekly in order to reflect seasonal availability.
While we were waiting for our food, I couldn't help but notice the eclectic music playlist Cure had going on that evening...mostly indie, with some Wiz Khalifa jams thrown in. I was digging it.
When my dinner arrived, I was surprised at the large portion. Two nice-sized pieces of swordfish sat on either side of an equally large serving of squid ink pasta, topped with a tomato and lobster sauce. The fish was, simply, put, amazing. The little bites of lobster in the sauce set off the saltiness of the squid ink pasta. Any skepticism I had of enjoying my meal here was completely gone at this point.
Where I found my portion to be almost over sized, my boyfriend's was pretty much at the opposite end of the spectrum. Luckily for him, I was willing to part with a few bites of my swordfish. We finished the meal with Cure's chocolate souffle cake, a moist and decadent dessert topped with peanut butter, sea salt, and a touch of olive oil. A fantastic way to end a delicious meal.
Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to carnivores and pescatarians (vegetarians, you might be out of luck). I love that this restaurant has such a committed focus on using local, sustainable, and ethical products in their cooking. Also note that it a BYOB establishment, and I highly recommend making a reservation.
