Description: Local, sustainable, organic cuisine.
Huge fans of the sustainable food revolution spearheaded by executive chef and food advocate extraordinaire Alice Waters, my boyfriend and I went here for our first anniversary dinner. We were blown away by the gorgeous presentations and standalone quality and taste of each dish. They started us with a tuna carpaccio with beets and cornichons in a mustard sauce, which was amazing. Next dish in the lineup was a sweet corn soup with chanterelles - wow! Corn never tasted so good. Our main course was lamb with white beans and candied fennel, which was a complete delight to the tastebuds. And we ended with homemade strawberry ice cream with all sorts of yummy accoutrements. All in all, the intimate, romantic atmosphere and superb meal left us beaming from the inside out. A perfect destination for a special occasion or anytime you feel like treating yourself and loved ones to the wonders of sustainable, local food!
