Great service at this nice little neighborhood french bistro. The owner hails from the Brittany Region of France and the cuisine and wine are done in the style from that region using very fresh locally sourced ingredients (they list all the farms which they source from in the menu).
I opted for the choose-your-own method, and had a wonderful dinner of:
1. Codfish emulsion with potato chip and ham
2. Goat cheese with Chorizo, lobster gelee,lobster sauce, and mixed vegetables
3. Halibut with blood sausage, beets, puree of apple and celery, and apple cider reduction.
4. Piglet chop with pasta carbonara and pork loin, Bacon and chives. This course was really the WOW factor, essentially taking uncut spaghetti and rolling it up into a tube, standing it vertically, putting the pork loin in the tube and then topping off with carbonara. I posted a photo so you can see what I mean, I've never had pasta presented this way.
5. Bleu Cheese with pear soaked in red wine, and gingerbread
6. Sticky cake, salted caramel, and caramel ice cream
7. Mignardises: Chocolate and sausage, salt caramel macaroon, mint marshmallow
The only reason I give it less than 5 stars is because some of the dishes just felt like the flavors weren't balanced properly. Also, while the wine they stock is delicious, there are very few options and as such there is no wine pairing option. A meal this wonderful really needs to have the range of wine that you might find across town at Xo. Solid 4 stars though.
