Talented chef Marcus Samuelsson culls inspiration from traditional Swedish products and runs with it. On the three-course dinner menu, you might start off with such Scandinavian standards as pickled herring, gravlax, smoked salmon and a lobster roll; or creations from his vivid culinary imagination like foie gras ganache with ocean trout, grilled octopus, blood oranges and goat cheese. The second course gives a greater sense of his talent with dishes like hot smoked arctic char; lobster and scallops paired with fennel sauerkraut; and tender rib-eye paired with bacon. What to drink with all of this? To start, a shot of one of the eight varieties of flavored aquavits; to finish, a Finnish liqueur.
