 Manresa Restaurant Review: Nestled at the base of the Santa Cruz Mountains in the quaint town of Los Gatos, Manresa showcases chef David Kinch's hyper-meditated, progressive cuisine du terroir. Local Love Apple Farms, which employs biodynamic practices, supplies most of the restaurant’s produce, conceptually represented in Kinch’s evolved, star dish, “Into the Vegetable Garden…” --- it’s like getting the chef’s credo on a plate. The dish is a holistic composition of the garden’s offerings that day, such as flowers, roots, stems, shoots, seeds, herbs and more substantial produce. As with all Kinch dishes, ingredients might be raw or cooked and feature varying degrees of temperatures. One might encounter bay scallops in vegetable and marrow bouillon with cabbage. Medjool date cake is complemented by crème fraîche and kumquat jam. A multi-course prix-fixe menu ($125) and a “Seasonal and Spontaneous” tasting menu ($175) featuring about 12 to 14 courses are available, with the option of wine pairing at an additional cost. The wine list evokes a lovely sense of place with the inclusion of local makers while also offering selections sourced worldwide. A refreshed interior resulted in a relocated entrance and duo of dining areas, a wine cellar in the restaurant's former foyer, and ten-seat bar and lounge. While the space has a more contemporary feel, the warmth and bones of the 1940's ranch-style building, including the open beam ceiling, mosaic tiled fireplace and curved wall, remain. |
