Rich Table

Reviewers are right — I would come here just to eat the porcini doughnuts and the sardine chips! The pastas are also yummy comfort food, while not al dente or traditional Italian tasting. I also enjoyed the dark chocolate pudding and yogurt ice cream pairing, with berries.
The beef tartare can be skipped. The ribeye was gigantic compared to what we were expecting and was beautifully tender; however I did not think it was anything out of the ordinary and would probably try a different main or just stick with the pastas if I went back. But, if you are someone who is content with a large and tasty hunk of meat, this may make you very happy.
Service was extremely friendly — so much that it was almost unsettling for this native New Yorker!

Rich Table is one of those restaurants that puts an unusual spin on every dish, which is sometimes great but is sometimes a detriment to the dish. I came here with two friends one evening. It took about 15 minutes for us to be seated, despite our reservation, but the restaurant was definitely pretty busy at the time.
We started off with the burrata on foccacia, which tasted strongly (too much for our palates) of fig, and with the porcini mushroom donuts, which were decent alone but improved by the raclette cheese. I ordered the potato empanada with summer squash chimichurri and eggplant. Mind you, I am not an eggplant fan so I’m always excited when a restaurant prepares it in such a way as to not overpower the dish. While I think Rich Table did that well, I found the empanadas to be pretty plain. Not bad, not amazing, just plain. The chimichurri was quite muted and… well, didn’t really taste like chimichurri sauce… so that was unusual.
A friend had the tagliatelle with eggplant, which she found to be solid but not great. Our server was reasonably friendly, if a bit quiet, although the original bartender whom we met while waiting on our table was super nice.
Honestly, I would skip Rich Table when in SF again. I admire them for their efforts at uncommon flavor combinations, but this was a miss for me.

Had a delicious and light meal here. impeccable service! try the uni and avocado small plate!
Seriously, impeccable service!

I’ve been here on three separate occasions and have always loved it! It’s one of my go-to’s with friends who are visiting me for the weekend — I know it’s a safe bet that they’ll be impressed.
Must get:
— Porcini doughnuts with raclette
— At least one pasta dish
— Whatever version of ribeye or duck breast they’re doing
I’ve never tried dessert at the restaurant — have always opted to walk over to Smitten for ice cream or Souvla for frozen Greek yogurt with baklava pieces. Good way to feel like you’re walking off a very small portion of the calories you just consumed :)
I’d recommend making a reservation on Open Table since the restaurant is quite popular.

I impulsively tried the tasting menu which cost $ 128 after tax and tip. I started the meal with some bites of 7 things with a side of pear cider. The anchovy dip was delightful. I enjoyed the seared foie gras toast. These 7 things spoke to me about the chef’s likes and recent experiences. Chef just returned from a trip from Asia — namely Japan and India. As such, the curries were imbued with so much flavor. The Alaskan halibut was accompanied by Japanese green curry. The chitarra was beautiful — great contrast of flavor from wasabi and farmer’s cheese — tasted sweet, savory, and spicy. The burrata was accompanied with strawberry gazpacho and country ham — beautiful contrast of colors and flavors. To finish, the grilled ribeye was perfection with black garlic, ramps, and snap pea chimichurri. Lastly, the dessert started with a palate cleanser: a macaron hybrid. For the dessert main, I had a chocolate crisp with mint ice cream topped with chocolate mousse. It was decadent, rich, and memorable.
It was definitely in the top 25 of restaurant experiences I’ve had in my life – the attention to detail was impeccable, the service was on point without being too pushy or pretentious and I can’t wait to come back here someday soon.

Best dish here was the porchini doughnut holes! (And now you can find them at AT&T park also, they have a rich table stand!)
We ordered quite a few pastas, all pretty tasty the pasta generally wasn’t aldente enough. There was one that was trying to mimic more of an Asian flavor. To be honest, I still prefer my pastas either leaning on the Asian side or on the italian side. Rich table is more in between. For pastas in Sf I still prefer Delfina.
Really fun cozy ambiance. Good place for a date or girls night. We came for my mom’s birthday and they gave us a free dessert which was nice of them. Pretty difficult to make reservations so make sure to plan in advance! We were sooo lucky to have gotten a call from the restaurant day of from a last minute cancellation.

Rich Table is fully deserving of a 5-​star rating. From the food and service/​staff to the décor and atmosphere, Rich Table was just awesome.
I don’t know how hard it is to get reservations here, but I was able to grab prime dinner time reservations on Sunday a week before. I clearly did not hesitate to take the slot. Note that here is a cancellation fee if you do not cancel within 36 hours of your reservation. The restaurant calls you to confirm as well in this window, which is nice for those who are more forgetful.
I was expecting parking to be extremely difficult in the area, but there were surprisingly plenty of spots available! Thanks to that, we were a bit early for our reservation. The host let us know that a couple tables were taking care of the bill and gave us menus to look at while we waited. On this particular night, Rich Table was offered a special 4-​course menu in partnership with a local winery, but the regular a la carte menu was still available. I love that you’re not cornered into something you don’t want: P
The service was just amazing from start to finish. The host wished the bf a «Happy birthday» since I noted that when they called to confirm reservations (They also said they’d bring out a dessert with a candle, but that never came =/​No big deal though since I’m sure it would’ve been complimentary). Between each course, they’ll take your dirty dishes and plates and bring out a whole new set! I was kind of blown away by that. They’ll also wipe down the table if you happened to make a mess, and then refill your water! They leave a bottle of water with you, but when they clear the table they’ll also just refill your cup if it’s looking empty. I just can’t. We told our server it was our first time here, and he walked us through the menu and gave us recommendations on what to order/what’s popular.
As for the food:
— Porcini doughnuts with raclette sauce: The sauce was SO good and complementary to the doughnuts. It’s so nice, creamy and savory — mmm! The doughnut itself was very interesting. It’s a lot more dense than a regular sweet doughnut, has a lot more bite to it. I want to say the texture reminds me a bit of ciabatta bread
— grilled asparagus with ramen stock and soft-​boiled eggs: This is a cold dish! I was so surprised, since I assumed «grilled» meant hot haha I think I would’ve preferred it hot: P But it was so good! The server poured the ramen stock over the veggie when he brought it over. The bf found the dish to be salty, while I loved it. It’s got good flavor and the sesame is just perfect.
— braised oxtail lasagna: One of my favorite dishes! The cherry sauce and cherries were sweet without being tart. The meat was super tender and melted in my mouth.
— NY strip steak with Dungeness crab butter (medium-​rare): This was good, but not great. If you like steak, then I’d say order this. The crab butter was interesting, but I think the beefiness of the steak overpowered it. It also had another green sauce on top, which was a bit tart.
— Mt. Lassen trout with a delicious green sauce (I think it may have been chimichurri, unless that was with the steak…): My FAVORITE dish of the night, and mind you I don’t normally even like cooked fish. The fish was cooked oh so perfectly, each bite was just SO yummy. It’s not as fatty tasting as salmon (I don’t like cooked or raw salmon: P) but still has a great buttery/​creaminess to it. It came with some lettuce, onions and avocados on the side.
I also had a glass of the Hexamer Riesling, and the server pours you a bit to taste before pouring you the whole glass. I’m guessing if you don’t like it, you may get to change your order??? Totally guessing on this, so don’t take my word for it! But the Riesling was very fruity, not too dry — perfect for me: P
This was just a little bit too much food for us because the bf’s tummy wasn’t at 100%. That aside, it would’ve been just perfect.
I really cannot wait to come back to Rich Table and try out their other dishes, or maybe even the chef’s picks menu!

Amazing dinner!
I wasn’t planning on doing the tasting menu, but was easily persuaded by the waiter’s description and the BF was interested so we decided might as well. I told them I don’t eat red meat and they were very accommodating.
We started off with 2 of their cocktails which are divine. Over the course of the night we ended up trying most of the cocktail menu, and there wasn’t a drink we didn’t like!
The first round that came out were all the bites. SO MANY. This included the oysters, sardine chips, porcini doughnuts. Then other things that weren’t on the menu: fritter with Indian spices, fish cannoli type thing, chicken liver mousse and tuna tartare. We were also given fried chicken madeleines and a small tasting of a savory panna cotta. Everything was delicious! My favorite was the porcini doughnuts with the raclette sauce.
The next round was the burrata and the grilled asparagus. I was apprehensive on how the burrata would taste with the strawberry gazpacho but once I had a bite, I was in love. The creaminess from the cheese and the sweetness from the strawberries went together perfectly! The ham added saltiness to the dish to balance everything out. The grilled asparagus was phenomenal! Cooked perfectly and then topped with a thick ramen broth along with sesame seeds and a black sesame paste. THAT SOFT BOILED EGG. So good.
Third round was trout and kale cake. They gave the kale cake to the BF and the trout to me. I was worried that he would hate it but he actually really enjoyed it! It was cheesy and savory, but the sauce lightened it up so it didn’t taste heavy. The trout was cooked to perfection and the avocado with salsa verde gave it a nice touch.
Fourth round was pastas! We got 1 ravioli filled with morels and a strawberry sauce, and the carbonara. Both were cooked al dente and packed lots of flavor.
Fifth round was duck breast. I’m not usually crazy about duck cooked medium rare since it can be too chewy for me, but I enjoyed this one! It was topped with a yellow curry sauce with grits underneath it and popcorn on top. The skin was crisp and the meat was incredibly tender. DELISH.
For dessert we were given a mini pre dessert composed of a goat cheese mousse topped with pistachios with a a tiny bit of cherry sauce on the bottom. This reminded me of a cheese course. While the portion is tiny, it did the trick in getting our appetites ready for dessert.
We were then given a chocolate mint dessert and a cherry ice dessert. We started with the cherry ice. At first glance, it just seemed like it would be a granita type thing on top of ice cream. Simple and refreshing. COMPLETELY WRONG. There were so many flavors in the dish. Peanuts were throughout it to give it crunch and a touch of savory. The cherries were caramelized and eating everything in 1 bite made it heaven in your mouth.
The chocolate mint dessert reminded us of a deconstructed thin mint. Very minty and the chocolate wasn’t heavy or dense.
By the end of the meal we were completely stuffed. The tasting menu definitely is the way to go if you come to Rich Table! You get so much food and are able to try different flavors.
Service was wonderful as well!

The experience here was amazing! My friends and I have been wanting to try Rich Table out for a while and I scored a Friday night reservation for the three of us. The place is very comfortable and rustic, with lots of dark wood setting the tone. I got there early and took the last seat at the bar while waiting for our table. The bartenders are very attentive even though I only ordered sparkling water.
Once we were seated at our table, our server explained the menu and about the Chef Picks — an assortment of small bites, and a variety of on and off menu items. We were intrigued by the off menu items so we went all in on the Chef Picks. The real cool thing about the Chef Picks is that you don’t necessarily get the same dishes at each course, except for the bites and the protein at the end. Each person gets a different dish, so when all was said and done, the three of us tasted about 24 different items! Wow, right?!
The standouts to me were the sardine chips, chicken madelines with honey butter, beef tartar, chitarra with morel mushrooms, and the grilled rib eye. There was also the cheese course and trout dish that was also memorable. Actually, I don’t think anything tasted bad to me at all. Some were a little more spicy than I expected, but still very good. I also liked that even though it was a lot of dishes, the portions were small which is a good thing. I was really able to enjoy the various flavors and not go home feeling uncomfortably full.
I will definitely have to come back. Though I really should plan this out to come with more people who want to try the Chef Picks — how many different items could they possible come up with?! Whatever they are serving, I want a piece of it!

The best meal I had all year, everything was spectacular! Already thinking about my next visit. Service was just great, especially our server. Really wish I remember his name but he was incredible! I been eating around Hayes Valley all week from absinthe to mbenjamin for my birthday but saved Rich Table for the actual day and I’m glad I did. It did not disappoint, simply amazing. I started with the **86 Vodka. Very good, a girly drink and I love it, refreshing.
The menu looked amazing. We asked our server for his recommendations as well. We started with some bite selections, the **Sardine Chips, served with Horseradish and Crème Fraiche. WOW! I’m not a fan of sardines but that was one good piece of chip. With the added taste of the crème fraîche, its was taste bud heaven. **Dried Porcini Doughnuts, Raclette — Savory donuts! Never had it before but might never go back to the sweets donuts after you had these. It comes with 5 pieces. That raclette was amazing. We almost used all of it, so delicious. **Fresh Spring Roll filled with dungeness crab, fried peanut and chili sauce. Mix the peanut and chili together to dip the spring rolls. It’s like the best spring roll I ever had. Very tasty as well as refreshing. Actually my favorite of all 3.
Appetizer we got the **Foie Gras Torchon, plated with green thai curry, potatoes and a side of brioche. I’m not the biggest fan of torchon but this was good. The potatoes are cut in small pieces mixed in with some of the thai curry. The Foie Gras was very smooth and flavorful. The brioche bread for toasty and soft. Just amazing. We shared the **Oxtail Lasagna, plated with cherry, ricotta and bone marrow. It was not heavy, perfect blend of the cheese and oxtail. My friend said it was exquisite. Not your typical lasagna. Small portion size of their lasagna. Also shared our entrée **Grilled Ribeye, topped with english peas, crunchy potato and dungeness crab butter! Sounds amazing, I know! The steak was huge. Cooked to the perfect medium rare as requested and recommend. The mixture of flavors and texture was scrumptious. It was so well seasoned/​prepared, one good piece of steak.
Finishing the dinner off with their **Pistachio Coffee Cake, paired with strawberries and buttermilk ice cream. Make sure you take a bite of all 3 components. The server said the desserts are fairly new. The cake was not too sweet, just perfect. And lastly the server and Rich Table surprised me with their mint dessert. I was surprised and super happy. My friend loved it, ate most of it. Food and service was amazing. Now one of my very favorites in the city!

This is definitely now one of my favorite restaurants in SF! The procini donuts are so good! We loved the trout roe tagliatelle they had in the pasta section, as well as the steak! The steak was amazing. The trout was also good, but that steak with chimichurri sauce is fantastic.
I would order all of those things again! I liked the sardine chips and the bread, but the ones I named above were SO GOOD. I would love to come back and try all the other things on their menu. Rich Table has been on my list forever, and I’m so glad I finally tried it.

Damn. I think Rich Table is one of my new faves! Make sure you have reservations unless you plan on coming in early with a party of 2. My friend and I had reservations here on a Friday at 5:30 PM and it was already a packed house.
You can choose the chef menu and/​or the tasting menu (drink pairing) or what we did, which was to order any item on the menu with their individual price. Things we ordered were:
Hon Hamachi — served with guacamole, fermented jalapeño, and bits of tempura fry. This was so flavorful and so refreshing with a shitload of textures. This dish kept my tastebuds on their toes. $ 16
Mushroom pasta — Chitarra morel mushroom, crème fraîche, honey, and housemade pasta noodles. I’m a sucker for mushrooms and this mushroom pasta had so much mushroom flavor, had a rich sauce but didn’t feel heavy, and had the perfect al dente noodles. My only complaint is that the portion wasn’t bigger! $ 19
Grilled Ribeye — with black garlic, ramps, and snap pea chimichurri. The ribeye was quite flavorful, but i must admit, it was a bit hard and chewy. I found myself biting down on some connective tissue and would have to set it aside on my plate. $ 34
Grilled Asparagus — cooked in ramen broth, sprinkled with sesame, and topped with soft boiled eggs. Wow. This was the best asparagus I’ve ever had. Enough said. $ 16
For dessert, since it was my friend’s birthday, they brought out a mint brownie brittle with some type of chocolate mousse or ice cream. The ice cream was so light and went perfectly with the thin crispy yet rich brownie brittle. We couldn’t stop eating it.
Overall, the dinner and the service was seamless. Can’t wait for my next visit!
Make sure to come before 6pm before all the street parking gets taken up!
I need more mushroom pasta.

I had a great dinner here last night with a few friends in the cutest booth. This was my second time and glad I came back and learned that the menu is always changing with fresh ingredients except the classic porcini donuts and sardine chips are always there.
Food faves:
Small bites
Porcini donuts — can’t go wrong with these
Corn tempura– fluffy almost popped corn with great spicy seasoning
Asparagus with egg– amazing!
Pasta
Bucatini w Gouda– not enough Gouda
Tagliatelle w beef– sooooo good! Rich incredible sauce
Meat
Ribeye– perfectly cooked, tender and delicious
Dessert– chocolate ganache and strawberry sorbet
Both worth it!
I’ll definitely come back again!

Rich Table has been on the list for so long. I asked my friend to make a reservation 4 weeks in advance but of course he neglected to do it. No big deal though — we arrived at 5:45pm and grabbed seats at the bar.
We were looking for a light dinner and shared three items: tagliatelle with burrata, garganelli with lobster, and Alaskan halibut. And let me tell you, that was a very light dinner.
I had high hopes for the pastas but both were just ok. The lobster pieces in the garganelli were tiny and the texture was a little chewier than I would’ve liked. The tagliatelle was not as flavorful as I had hoped. And the halibut was refreshing and cooked well but the portion was pretty tiny.
The drink options looked interesting but I’m trying to refuse alcohol as much as possible right now (I haven’t been that successful). I was hoping that Rich Table would blow me away; even though it didn’t, I generally liked the overall experience.

Was here for dinner last week and man, I was sooo looking forward to it! Overall impression was, as much as I hate to say it, underwhelming. What we noticed throughout our meal was that a lot of the dishes were a little under seasoned and/​or came to the table lukewarm. The dishes might’ve been hot, but not so much the food.
Anyway, we had the tasting menu and it certainly is extensive — so many small bites/​appetizers that you get to try! This includes the signature porcini doughnuts, sardine chips, and about 5 or so more items. Doughnut surprised me… it was not what I expected. And I guess I was expecting actual pieces of mushroom in it, which it did not have. In fact, I barely got the taste of mushroom in there. Same goes for the lobster madeleine that we had as well — while it was a good madeleine, I would not be able to identify what was in it. The only thing that I would want to order again for sure was the burrata dish they had. That was yum.
An onslaught of additional dishes came afterward including two pasta dishes (one was definitely better than the other), skate wing, pierogi, steak, and this interesting but satisfying crème brûlée cleanser before dessert. Everything was ok, not amazing.
Dessert consisted of a chocolate, thin mint-​like dessert and a carrot granita with sorbet and candied walnuts. Carrots are not my favorite, so I could not enjoy it, but that’s just a personal preference. The chocolate one was good though. Oh, and they ended the meal with this stone fruit popsicle thing. I wished they hadn’t given me that. It was not my cup of tea.

Dinner review.
Sardine chips — ⁵⁄₅ — 7×7
Porcini donuts — ⁵⁄₅ — 7×7. So good we ordered a second round.
House bread/​butter — ⁴⁄₅
Burrata, strawberry, ham — ³⁄₅
Bucatini with roe — ⁴⁄₅
Tajarin with lobster — ⁴⁄₅
Black cod — ³⁄₅
Vanilla pot de crème — ³⁄₅
Chocolate ganache — ³⁄₅
Overall, porcini donuts are «as good as it gets.»

I was really looking forward to coming here. My boyfriend strongly recommended this place after he came about two years ago. AND Dominique Crenn loves this place, and brings her friends here, and is friends with the chef… So lots of excitement and anticipation.
We came with another couple and we all got the tasting menu.
We started with the tiny bites: pretzel, some mango and foie gras bread bite, and a smoked salmon cannoli. Weird that the mango/​foie gras bite was sweet, but that’s fine. Pretzel was just okay. Then we got oysters– which were super delicious. I loved loved loved mine. Porcini donuts were my friend’s favorite. He really liked it, but basically said they poured msg over it. I wasn’t a fan of the msg-​like powder on it. The fish chip, was pretty amazing, but made the whole restaurant smell really fishy (which we noticed upon entering). There was also a teeny tiny cup of panna cotta, which was weird because it’s supposed to be a savory appetizer? It was like polka dots of salty on a sweet fabric, which was not appealing to me.
Then we started getting two different courses, so we can try everything! (Which is cool). By the way, I never remember what they actually describe in the dish, so these are just what I was able to glean from their fast stutter talk and what I can identify myself.
Our salad courses: Mashed avocado with radish and citrus fruits. Hamachi with stuff on top.
Both dishes were sour because of vinegar (made my friend sad that so many things were sour). The avocado was tasty, but overly dressed. The Hamachi was tasty too, but there was some black stuff that was super salty on top of it and that made me cringe a lot.
Our third course: Skate wing with toasted almonds. Fried Pierogi.
I liked the friend pierogi. It’s just a potato dumpling.
The skate wing was gross. The texture and part of the skate was not really a good part. There were so many bones in our dish, it was hard to consume, and also the fish had a weird slimy texture to it. I usually love eating fish, but I had to stop because they were like really long slimy (snot) ropes. The toasted almonds were really tasty though. I picked out all of them. :P
Our noodles course: Something with mussels and dark sauce, something with burrata and white sauce.
I didn’t enjoy my noodles, so I gave them to my friend. He said he’d order this dish as an entrée. The burrata noodles were so promising, because I love burrata, but it tasted off to me. The group concluded it was because I ate my dish first, and the fishiness of the mussels lingered. So definitely eat the burrata dish first, and then try the mussels one.
Our fifth course: Meat (probably beef), the guy was talking too fast, stuttering, and I didn’t hear anything! :D
I am deducting two stars because of this dish. I thoroughly didn’t enjoy it. Not only did my piece come with a huge piece of white (obvious) ligament, but even the pieces that I cut to purposefully avoid the ligament/​tendon, were so tough and difficult to chew. I lost my appetite after that. I was extremely disappointed that Rich Table would serve such an inedible piece of meat to me. The rest of the group’s were fine. The chocolate sauce was also weird (to us– maybe not to you!)
Our sixth course: Teeny tiny cup (like the panna cotta) of cheese brulee.
It’s a cool concept. Weird that they count this as a 6^th course. It was savory and sweet. I love cheese, I love sugar; this was odd. I ate it all anyway because I was really hungry and I essentially skipped two courses.
Our seventh course: Dessert! Persimmon sundae and something chocolate and mint with icecream too.
The Persimmon sundae was very well done. It was refreshing, light and tasted perfect. The creaminess of the ice cream worked well with the persimmon fruit flavor. I love persimmon so I was delighted with this course.
The mint and ice cream one was more off. The weird chocolate brick-​like board was not tasty at all. it was hard, and had a gross flavor. Not just bitter, I can do bitter, and I relish bitter chocolate. It was just a weird tasteless black cracker. The chocolate on top (kinda looks like poop) had mint in it, so that was good, but it was really dense. Didn’t enjoy it. The mint ice cream underneath was refreshing. So that was great.
Overall, the dessert was fun, but I prefer to only have one ice cream dish. It was too chilling, and given the roller coaster of food our stomachs endured, we all had tummy aches afterwards.
A final bite: Some kind of cold popsicle on a toothpick.
Mine was super sour, and I made five different cringe faces before I apologized to my group and spit it back into the communal cup it came from. I couldn’t make myself swallow it. That bad.
Final conclusion: It was a fun experience to share with friends, trying new foods. But be prepared to not eat some courses.
Pro-​tip to myself: Maybe befriend Dominque Crenn, have her order what’s good and show you how you’re supposed to enjoy it.

I love food. I love traveling and eating, and trying new things, but maybe because I’ve eaten so many amazing things, it takes a lot to impress me. But I was definitely blown away by my dinner at Rich Table.
Lifechanging Food:
1. Dried Porcini Donuts — These are an absolute must have and will blow away any preconceived notions you may have had about donuts. They are light, fluffy, addictive and just TOO GOOD.
2. Foie gras torchon — I enjoyed this dish. It is definitely not a life changing dish, but the foie gras was subtle, buttery and delicious. It was a pleasant dish with a ton of different textures and flavors.
3. Black Cod — This was a spectacular dish. The cod was cooked to perfection and fell apart under my fork. They also served it with this ridiculously delicious sauce.
Things you can miss :
1. House made bread and butter — it was yummy but you can definitely get bread that good elsewhere. Also, don’t fill up before you get to the mains!
2. Tajarin pasta was tasty but a little heavy and the noodles were a little overcooked.
All in all, this place hit a ton of high notes and I would definitely be back!

Had a yummy dinner last night at Rich Table. Everything was so fresh and tasty. Order a lot to share! Most dishes are pretty tiny
Sardine chips — $ 2 for one, good starter
Hamachi — fresh and light
Uni toast — can never go wrong with uni toast
Roasted Squash Burrata — okay but probably could have done without this
Spaghetti with lobster — my favorite of the night and highly recommend
Grilled rib-​eye — bf had this and said it was just ok. the sauce did not compliment the meat
Milk chocolate cremeux and persimmon sundae were both amazing desserts! Great way to end the night. Service was awesome as well!

Came here with my BFF (Best Foodie Friend). Had reserved month ahead and was given a nice table by the kitchen. For the ladies, there are hooks under the tables to hang your bags.
The menu quickly overwhelmed us and we decided to go for the Chef’s Picks and wet our whistles with a Greyhound Express and Bullfighter. The Chef’s Picks is only done if everyone at the table agrees as it is served family style to make sure you get a taste of more dishes.
Soon after the drinks came, the food started coming. You get a mix of items that are on the menu and off so I will describe as best as I can. Initially all the small dishes cam out at once: Sardine chips, the must have Porcini doughnuts, some shrimp chips with salmon and cheese, and I think ahi tuna on some wooden spoons. All were amazing!
Next came a Burrata cheese plate and beef tartare with a potato bun both of which were very tasty. At this point we figured we only had entrees and dessert to go, but we were oh so wrong as we were informed we had «about» 6 more dishes to go.
Next came the Petrale Sole and the Roasted Cauliflower. That was followed by two pasta dishes, a Tajarin with King Crab and Gribiche sauce along with a Chitarra, roasted squash, dandelion greens and chestnuts. The final dish was a steak with a light ponzu.
Then came the desserts! The Avocado & Green Juice on paper did not sound nearly as good as a Peanut Butter Pie, but make sure you save room and get it. The biggest surprise to my taste buds which got a huge workout.
This was an amazing dinner and worth the hype.
We did have two palate cleansers along the way. One being a persimmon yogurt and at the end we had frozen concord grape popsicles.
