text: Let me preface this by saying stars do not give this foodie haven justice this is probably the most delicious meal I have had EVERnnIt was a Wednesday night and we had reservations We walked in right on time and were greeted immediately by none other than Eliot Wexler himself He could not have been friendlier seating us immediately just the way it should be when you have a reservation I noticed that the restaurant was packed and everyone around us seemed to be enjoying themselves that was a good sign Plus the fact that I bumped into Jenn H and I know she is got good taste so when she recommended a few of her favorite menu items I listenednnThere were of us dining and I know we all enjoyed every moment every sip and every bite We each had a glass of wine to start I went with the Kim Crawford Sauv Blanc Looking over the menu it was difficult to decide on what to order everything sounded unique and appealing After asking our waiter Robert for his opinion I flagged Eliot down to ask what he thought between the Skate Wing and the Scallops He sold me on the Skate Wing and I would order it again and again But before I get there I have to mention that the table sampled the Gougere with mushroom duxelle and port wine syrup a special treat that was not on the menu We also tasted the Spinach Mezzaluna a handmade ravioli stuffed with ricotta mascarpone and pecorino It was incredible I truly savored each bite Oh and how can I forget the fresh bread and olive oil brought to our table Truly the freshest tasting olive oil I am not kiddingnnOn to the entrees pictured above My companions fancied their scallops and halibut immensely We traded a bite for a bite so we could each try all three entrees too and they were all pretty amazing I will say however that Eliot and Jenn H steered me right in suggesting the Skate Wing I pretty much licked my plate cleannnWe were all full after the entrees but decided that dessert would be a good ending to this phenomenal meal so what did we do On top of the cotton candy we shared the donuts and the apple risotto We may as well do it right right Wow We sure did do it right the donut holes were served with dipping sauces and while I am not a donut person these were pretty amazing I had not treated myself to Cotton Candy since I was a little girl so that was a fun addition of sugar shot right into my system you have to have some it is their signature dessert Finally we went for one more indulgence the apple risotto oh the apple risotto Fantastic Tiny pieces of apple sauteed with butter sugar honey and more topped with a salty butter flavored ice cream I know there were some additional ingredients that I am missing here but OMG need I say morennIn some of the press I have read about this place it is referred to as fine dining in a casual atmosphere at an accessible price I would agree with that although I do think the accessible price part is relative I would consider this more of a special occasion type of place because of the you will spend here pp more or less It is worth dumping out your piggy bank if you have to though it is a culinary experience you will not forgetnnIm already dreaming about my next visit
