So very, very good. We got the “Chef’s table”which was really the two seats at the kitchen bar closest to the chef and had a fantastic time. This place was very Salt of the Earth like in the menu format, quality of food, presentation and passion about it all. Inside the room looks like you are inside a wine barrel. Very cool indeed.
The chef, Graham, and all the cook staff, were great to talk with. Lots of fun conversation during dinner.
We had the:
- chorizo-stuffed medjool dates with smoked bacon and piquillo pepper-tomato sauce
- a small plate special with roasted shishito peppers and queso fresco
- fermin serrano with macerated figs, queso fresco and fried rosemary
- A very nice bottle of wine:2008 Via Latina, Alvarinho,Agrela, Vinho Verde (alvarinho)
The chef offered what sounded to be several great dessert options but then recommended that we go to the bar at their sister restaurant, Blackbird, which we did. Oh my.
