We dined at Herbs & Rye and made it a point NOT to get dessert there. That's usually very out of the question, but on this particular occasion, an anticipated three course dessert was reason enough.
Three courses of dessert?! Yup. I had only imagined the concept in my fondest of thoughts. My girl friend had been here before and was excited to bring me. I think I was really way more excited than she was.
We came in and got lucky there was a spot for two at the bar open. The place itself, it's very clinical and contemporary with its stark white walls and decor. The ladies manning the fort were friendly and kept up with the diners' oohs and aahs. Oh and endless photo-taking.
We each opted for the three or maybe four course dessert which came with dessert wine. Even the menu was edible. I surely loved that little touch! Each course was meticulously prepared and artfully presented.
Now these aren't your fattening, carbloady desserts. Surprisingly each course was light, airy, but still satisfying that sweet tooth. Each course was a curious surprise waiting to unravel.
We both had an amazing time and I can't wait for a similar concept to be brought to CA.
