A fantastic dining experience was had by all! My partner and I dined here last night for the first time with another couple who had also never dined here before. We enjoyed everything. No disappointments whatsoever. FOOD: Much to my and my partner's delight, they served amuse-bouche; a small spoon of chick peas with a sliver of anchovy lightly doused in chorizo oil (fantastic as it was, I could have done w/o the anchovy). I started with the Malted Parsnip Mousse w/ Dungeness Crab and Rosemary Streusal. To say this appetizer was spectacular would be a drastic understatement. Everyone at our table agreed as I shared samples with my party. The main course for me was Crispy Duck Confit served with a root vegetable hash and carmelized vegetable sauce. As my partner agrees (since he ordered the same thing) it was certainly the best duck confit we have ever had. Tender, yet with a delicately crisp skin full of flavor. The vegetables were done to a perfect al dente all in a sauce that begs one to lick from the plate. We of course enduldged ourselves in desert after such a spectacular meal. I much highly recommend the Honey Mousse that comes with a wonderful array of flavors to combine with the sweet treat. LOCATION: A little off the beaten path but certainly worth seeking out. ATMOSPHERE: Room for large parties and small intimate groups. Even a romantic evening with your sweetheart would be well spent here. Unless of course you're not a fan of ultra-modern decor with lots of glass. All in all, a meal to be remembered and most certainly revisited!
