| - Ok, so the food here is as fabulous as most of the reviews have been raving about. I ordered the rainbow trout that came with scalloped potatoes, beet bulbs and chard... the fillet was cooked perfectly, flaky and moist and the potatoes... I mean, there are scalloped potatoes, and then there are SCALLOPED potatoes. Mmmmm....however the chef made the cream sauce, it had me scraping the plate (surreptitiously, of course ;-)) with my fork...
Our table had also ordered the duck breast, the duck confit, the bison short ribs - and for dessert, we had the chocolate tart, and the poached pear (with chocolate ice cream). I don't think I've ever seen the entire table finish a meal that quickly - not because we were in a hurry to get out of there but because no one could really talk while eating :)
We were seated near the chef's window - so it was awesome to see him in action. Of course, being the foodaholics our group was, one of my friends asked if we could meet the chef and he graciously came out, chit chatted and took a picture with us :)
The total -- including wine and tip - came to about $480 for a group of 8. Totally reasonable, especially given the quality and presentation of the food, the service and given extra desserts ! :)
The place is new, but definitely a keeper in my book :)
