The room is cozy and reminds me very much of the Fat Duck Restaurant in Berkshire, UK. Service is superb and the lighting, romantic. It’s a perfect first date place.
Mussels in escabeche with corn, Huitlacoche sauce, house chorizo, and sea asparagus inspire cravings – the mussels are plump and subtle. This dish is outstanding.
Roasted Muscovy duck breast, with summer squash, fresh lobster mushrooms and garlic jus is creamy and nostalgic – an updated version of a classic European dish.
Smoked velvety veal tongue, silky beef tartare, and a crunchy green bean salad is spot on. So good, you won’t believe its tongue.
Veal sweetbreads and caramelized onions melt on the palate. This dish reminds me of a liver and onions, however, this version is lighter and wondrously tender. Additionally, the dish is elevated by a vinegary fricassee salad.
A last minute order of wild mushrooms is the only misstep. They Saskatchewan chanterelles are chewy and taste as thought they have been rehydrated.
