"0"^^ . "A wonderful date night at our favorite spot in town. We opted to sit at the long counter this time to watch the action. It was cool. The only issue is that the seats were a bit tight for Big Daddy to get really comfortable and we were pretty far from the action (my fault for calling at the last minute). I loved sitting there because I like the social aspects of a community spot and it was great fun. Food was exquisite as ever (menu to follow below). We both noticed that Chef Josh (always a charmer) is placing even more emphasis on front of the house interaction. EVERYONE LOVES THAT! It makes it fun and he is so informative that the food goes to another level. \nBIg Daddy and my menus combined:\nAmuse bouche- passion frruite gren tea w/kiwi pudding (good, but sweet for us)\nCelery root sout w/pumpkin seed oil- DIVINE\nCucmber, watermelon, red radis, goat cheese salad\nKumamoto Oyster- ponzu soy, chive \nLoup de mer w/eggplant mash- YUMMY\nFoie Gras-BIG DADDY SAID IT IS THE BEST THING EVER. He was swooning and he doesn't ever swoon that much unless I cook! (ulterior motive, but that's another story :))\nKangaroo w/ creamy white polenta- Kangaroo was good- a bit firmer than we expected and the polenta complimented it beautifully. A lovely protein course.\nVeal sweet breads- zucchine noodls, shishito peppers and bacon consumme- LOVE THIS- We requested sweetbreads because we lust for them and these were delicious. Chef even gave us tips on how to make them at home (no small feat)\nThe Cheese Course- always prefer savory over sweet - Epoisses de Bourgogne, humbolt fog (hubby's fave) and robiola SUPERB!\n\nThe meal was absolutely wonderful. Experience was romantic, fun. No wonder they are always packed in this economy. LOVE IT!"^^ . . "5"^^ . "2"^^ . . "2011-01-20T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ . .
