A new restaurant has come in just up the street, and since it got great reviews for its seafood, we went for an early dinner yesterday evening before heading to the theatre (Wishful Drinking) for a classic Thursday date night.
They are still working out the kinks in terms of service, which was very attentive, basically knowledgeable and friendly, if somewhat inexperienced. We started with pain au levain and baguette with sweet butter - full marks for the bread - and ordered dungeness crab gratinée, which was highly recommended and served on Pink Lady apples and avocado. It was divine. Our second starter was the seafood chowder with pancetta, which was rich and thick with fingerling potatoes, sliced finely, leeks, mussels and white fish - also excellent.
For mains, we ordered the two top recommendations: sturgeon with pork belly in a puy lentil gravy (fantastic) and the whole oven-roasted fish, which we think was turbot, served with fennel, black olives, oranges and sweet onion (very good).
All in all, we'll be back. It was a superb meal, though pricey ($102 with tip, no wine; no desserts).
