So I was fortunate enough to have an friend take me here for dinner my first week in town. This place is legit!
The menu changes constantly and is based on what is fresh and at its best. For the reason, we decided to go with the tasting menu and paired wines. Now this option wasn't cheap by any stretch of the imagination, but MY GOODNESS was it worth it. Since they offered a vegetarian options, we ordered that as well as the omnivorous version. It was great because we were able to taste the best of both worlds. There were at least 5 courses and wow. They were all stand outs. By the time we got to dessert, we were almost stuffed! That's great because often times tasting menus can be downright paltry.
Oh and the wines. I'm swooning just thinking about the wines that they chose per course. Some American, but also Italian, Spanish and French. Again, totally worth what we paid for it.
Now service was a bit spotty. Our waitress was AMAZING and the hostesses were completely sweet. But some of the food runners were more on point than others. We asked one of them about what was on our plates, since she hadn't announced it when she brought it to the table. Unfortunately, she had no clue. So we learned not to ask her any questions and kept it moving. A very minor slight though.
In short: if you want to take a date somewhere that you can pretty much guarantee a happy ending to the night, Legume is your choice. Parents coming to town and want to pay for dinner? Legume all day. I really hope to go back again sometime soon.
