| - Visited One18 Empire for the Big Taste 2016 with a friend. The Big Taste lunch was only $15 and we each selected the following:
- ONE18 Caesar - kale, rustic croutons, preserved lemon vinaigrette, parmesan - I liked it! The dish is a small metal dish with handles. I find it a tad small to eat my salad. Every time I go to pick up a forkful of salad, the cheese or the leaves either falls out of the small dish and onto the table.
- Ciopino - citrus saffron broth, mussels, clams, salmon & charred foccacia. Seafood stew cooked with halved red olives and dip it with the most delicious toasted focaccia bread. There were tender pieces of mussels, clams and fish. I loved it! I told the maƮtre'd that they should put this dish in their main menu. I'd come back just for the Ciopino.
- Dessert - Vanilla bourbon cake, spiced apples, maple cream - not very sweet and quite delicious! My friend had the Affogatto, baileys gelatto, lemon madaleine, espresso shot - it was also good! I had a taste of it. Also, we both got an extra dessert to go - they are like apple doughnuts (I think), it's great!
