Great meal, even for Restaurant Week!
Reviewed on Wednesday, 30 July 2008 — Last updated: Monday, 04 August 2008
I came here for dinner during restaurant week, and even though we ordered off the pre-fixe menu (which is sometimes a risk during RW), it was one of the best meals I have ever had. The service in the beginning was very slow (it took almost 20 minutes for them to even bring us menus), but I think they realized that they were really busy so they brought our table a tasting of the yellowfin tuna and salmon tartare, which was absolutely incredible. I had the pretzel crusted crabcake to start, and it was easily the best I've ever had. The crunchiness of the pretzel perfectly offset the soft center of the crabcake, giving it a great consistency. It was served with both a sweet sauce and a spicy mustard sauce, and topped off with two shrimp. The crabcake was perfect alone, but they really took it over the top with the two shrimp, which were also cooked perfectly. My main dish was a braised short rib ravioli with wild mushrooms, mushroom chips and truffle mousse. Everything about this dish was amazing, and they once again took the plate to the next level with the mushroom chips and truffle mousse on top. The desserts were the only disappointment, and I kind of regret not ordering David Burke's cheesecake lollipop tree, but the meal itself definitely made up for the mediocre desserts.
