WAGYU BEEF.
I don't even like steak and this is one of the best things I have ever eaten. Get it medium rare and indulge. It comes on a bed of lentils and slowly-cooked onions, which add bright notes to cut through the richness of the beef. It also comes with a small pad of shaved butter on top. Again, it's a must-order item.
Duck-fat fries
Crispy, crispy, crispy. They have a deeper flavor than normal fries. Best fries I have had. (But they're still fries.)
Octopus salad
Yummmm. The octopus wasn't rubbery! Yay! It had a grilled flavor that was complemented beautifully by the crazy water (which is an Italian herb broth--I thought this version had some tomato juice). Mussels, clams, excellent. Second favorite dish.
Ravioli
I'm a huge fan of soft eggs. It was fun to cut the ravioli and watch the egg yolk douse the rest of the dish. There was a perfectly-cooked slice of bacon on top of the dish, which brought a nice saltiness. I would definitely get this again.
Cheesecake fo' dessert
Silky cheesecake, graham crumbles, and a peach-bourbon reduction? Can't go wrong.
Everything here was basically my favorite... Excited to go back because I have my eye on that charcuterie platter...
