 Romantic lighting, formal table settings, fresh flowers and topnotch service combine to make us feel like we've stepped back in time here. We enjoy the contemporary creations by chef Jonathan Gelman, who focuses on creating a menu with accents that reach as far as the Mediterranean and as close as Texas. We are impressed with starters of braised Kurobuta pork belly atop lemony dressed mâche, as well as the meaty local quail that derives some of its rich smoky flavor from cherry wood. Lamb chops crusted in Dijon mustard prove a strong counterpoint and served with braised cabbage, the dish takes an autumnal turn. The ahi preparation plays with Asian and Mediterranean influences, its carnaroli rice companion adds a rich and creamy component to the dish, its ginger background casts a subtle spice nuance. Opt for the three- or five-course tasting menu with selections from the meaty wine list to match. Tony Sansalone gives you every reason to indulge in dessert; we favor his lovely Gaviato strawberry tart, artisanal cheese assemblage or for something more sumptuous, the Guanaja hazelnut crunch bar served with a malted milkshake and candied hazelnuts. If you find yourself so taken with the experience, go behind the scenes and learn chef Gelman's secrets during one of his "Chef for a Day" programs. |
