This is a really strong 4 out of 5 more, not quite 5 but essential a 4.5. For appetizer I had the Chicken Liver Mousse. Im a big chopped liver fan and this was fantastic. They give you these large texas toast like pieces of tuscan bread and a large servings of their chicken liver mousse which is finished with honey and pistachios. It was such a nice light texture, not grainy or chunky in the slightest. Great unusual start to the meal.
For an entree I had the chinati braised short rib. This was a venture to me because i never had tried short rib but am a big Osso Buco fan so i figured it was worth a try with the waiters recommendation. He was so right, extremely tender, pot roast like taste but chianti braising was phenomonal. Portion size was a little small and I felt the orzo mac and cheese had a very light taste that didnt do much for the dish. The short rib itself was something I would come back for alone. Very nice atmosphere and beautiful restaurant to dine in during the summer as the entire seating area benefits from their garage style lifted entrance. Will definitely be back.
