    Wow. We were very much looking forward to coming back here once they opened. Definitely the most expensive meal I’ve ever prepaid (tasting menu plus wine pairings of course) though. This was only the fifth service since they re-opened. This was one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. Food was amazing (and we…

The wine pairings worked well (I personally would have been stumped on how to pair with…

    It’s Wednesday and an opportunity to celebrate Andrea b-day again! Nice ingredients and interesting flavors. The salmon was a bit of a miss (and we otherwise love King salmon), but otherwise everything was very enjoyable.

    We’ve been meaning to try the newest restaurant in our neighborhood. Probably a bit much for lunch, but what a treat…shigoku oysters, kanpachi crudo, octopus, toasts with anchovies and jamon iberico, and Dungeness crab on a brioche. Yum!!

    Real Thanksgiving meal dining out, so no preparation for us (yah!) and dining was in an outdoor tent. We brought along bottles of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Croix from our tasting earlier in the week. since we each did four courses, we were able to try everything on the menu. Ingredients were very good…
