actually, i should check jgold’s list before i go and say it’s our #16…

ok, yup, it’s there. we had our choice of the 4-course tasting menu, the 10-course anniversary menu or the 13-course chef’s choice menu. no fork for us – we opted for middle of the road and we weren’t disappointed. except for a bit too much salt, it was a highly enjoyable evening. let me break it down for you:

• bacon foccacia, basil brioche, and ciabatta
• amuse bouche #1: grapes in pistachio oil
• amuse bouche #2: sea scallop w/ prawn salt
• egg caviar, lemon creme fraiche, American caviar
• tuna + hamachi, white + green pepper, yuzu vinaigrette, mizeria (sp?)
• mandarin tomato soup, tomato tartare, tomato sorbet and brioche chip
