点评:(Last visited 3/13/2023.) Hanging out in town on business and this area is where I've spent 18 years of my life so I was meeting up with my mans for dinner to catch up. He suggested this place because he's been here before, but coincidentally, I already had this place bookmarked because I saw some brunch pictures from another friend of mine! So here's what I think of it!
Atmosphere/Appearance: This place is so amazing. It feels like a grown & sexy lounge with upbeat remixes of various songs. This place also has quite a bit of a footprint. So once in the front door you have the beautiful bar area. Then if you make your way to the left you have more of a lounge-like area, then if you continue on you enter the main dining room which is FULL OF GLASS. There's so much natural daylight that comes in through here that it helps keep you warm in the winter and in the summer months, the glass windows slide over to create a great cross-breeze. It just FEELS GOOD in here. It exudes class, style and like... a place where professionals hang out.
Service: Classie took care of us and she was just perfect. She was down for my banter, put up with me, made excellent recommendations and really just added to the entire experience. I'll certainly be asking for her when I make a return visit.
Food: I started off with their Gin & Juice cocktail which was light, refreshing and after I got to the bottom of the glass, I discovered it was surprisingly strong. Lol. As an appetizer we started off with the "Dip & Chips". This dish is comprised of hand cut, hand made kettle cooked chips dusted with an onion powder served along side a creamy dip made up of caramelized onions, mascarpone, many other seasonings and then blanketed with tiny chives. This was delicious. The chips were thick, crunchy and flavorful. The dip itself was creamy, hearty and reminded me of a French onion soup, but in a dip. Fabulous. Next up was the Bigeye Tuna. This is a dish comprised of tiny sushi-grade chunks of seasoned tuna served on a bed of crispy rice that's stuffed with a nori mayo. This was delicious. The tuna was fresh and flavorful. The crispy rice with the mayo inside added a bit of a creamy, rounded, garlicy, oniony, flavor to the dish. It was excellent. Next up were the Wontons. These are comprised of dry-aged beef, fois gras, miso, mustard and scallions. This dish was a little underwhelming for me. It was delicious, don't get me wrong, but I believe the mustard was a little too strong. The wonton crust was crispy, flaky and held all of the ingredients, but didn't shine enough. The fois gras flavor was also very, very light and it seemed like it was more-so used in the sauce to make it thicker/creamier. Next up was the Crab & Avocado. It's nothing like what you think is going to come out. Lol. So in a bowl you get shredded crab (the real stuff), shredded cucumber, shredded kosher dill all served over a bed of avocados then topped with Tobiko fish roe. This was amazing. It's not served hot, but it's not cold either. It's like somewhere in between and I think it was perfect. If it were too cold the flavors would've been damped and if it was too warm then the vegetables would've lost their crisp texture. In addition to that crispiness from the veggies you get the creaminess from the crab and avocado. The sauce it's tossed in pulls it all together. This was one of my favorite dishes of the evening. Don't forget to eat it with the chopsticks! Finally, for my entrée I had Classie choose a dish for me because I simply couldn't make up my mind. Out came the Lobster & Caviar. This dish is a small pasta with HUGE pieces of tender lobster tossed in fettuccine noodles mixed in with a cognac cream sauce. For a finishing touch you have some deliciously salty caviar on top. This was excellent and I've never had anything like it before. I highly recommend THIS to be your dinner.
Value: If you haven't guessed by now, this is a place where you have to pay to play. Nothing here is cheap and you should be aware of this before you even get started. The portions are on the smaller side, so be aware of that as well.
Gin & Juice = $16.00
Vida Mezcal = $16.00
Large Ice Cube For Mezcal = $2.00
Bigeye Tuna = $22.00
Dip & Chips = $17.00
Wontons = $17.00
Crab & Avocado = $28.00
Lobster & Caviar = $68.00
Bring the big wallet or the credit card if you're going to eat here. The food IS absolutely worth it. The quality is incredible, but you'll need an appetizer and an entrée or 2 or whatever. My point is... this is an upper-scale restaurant that you have to pay to play in.
In conclusion, I loved this place so much and I will be making a return. There are other things that I want to try and I look forward to check them out!
翻译:(上次访问时间为 2023 年 3 月 13 日。)在城里出差,我在这个地区度过了 18 年的生活,所以我正在和我的男人见面吃晚饭。他推荐这个地方是因为他以前来过这里,但巧合的是,我已经把这个地方加入书签了,因为我看到了我另一个朋友的一些早午餐照片!所以这就是我的想法!
氛围/外观:这个地方太棒了。感觉就像一个成熟而性感的休息室,里面有各种歌曲的欢快混音。这个地方也有相当多的足迹。因此,一旦进入前门,您就会看到美丽的酒吧区。然后,如果您向左走,您会看到更多类似休息室的区域,然后如果您继续前进,您会进入满是玻璃的主餐厅。从这里射进来的自然光如此之多,有助于让您在冬天和夏天保持温暖,玻璃窗滑过,营造出极好的交叉微风。在这里感觉很好。它散发着阶级、风格和喜欢……专业人士闲逛的地方。
服务:Classie 照顾我们,她非常完美。她对我的玩笑很失望,忍受了我,提出了很好的建议,真的只是增加了整个体验。当我回访时,我肯定会找她。
食物:我先喝了他们的 Gin & Juice 鸡尾酒,它清淡、清爽,喝到底部后,我发现它出奇地浓郁。哈哈。作为开胃菜,我们从“Dip & Chips”开始。这道菜由手工切割、手工制作的水壶煮熟的薯条组成,撒上洋葱粉,搭配由焦糖洋葱、马斯卡彭奶酪和许多其他调味料制成的奶油蘸酱,然后用细香葱覆盖。这很好吃。薯片很厚,松脆可口。蘸酱本身是奶油状的,丰盛的,让我想起了法式洋葱汤,但是是蘸酱。极好。接下来是大眼金枪鱼。这道菜由微小的寿司级调味金枪鱼块组成,配以塞满紫菜蛋黄酱的脆米饭。这很好吃。金枪鱼新鲜可口。里面有蛋黄酱的脆米饭给这道菜增添了一点奶油味、圆润味、大蒜味、洋葱味。这太棒了。接下来是馄饨。这些由干牛肉、鹅肝酱、味噌、芥末和大葱组成。这道菜对我来说有点平庸。很好吃,不要误会我的意思,但我相信芥末有点太浓了。馄饨皮酥脆,片状,包含所有成分,但不够亮。鹅肝酱的味道也非常非常清淡,而且看起来更像是在酱汁中使用,使它更浓/更奶油。接下来是螃蟹和鳄梨。这与您认为会出现的完全不同。哈哈。所以在一个碗里,你会得到切碎的螃蟹(真正的东西)、切碎的黄瓜、切碎的犹太莳萝,所有这些都放在鳄梨床上,然后在上面放上 Tobiko 鱼子。这太棒了。它不是热的,但也不冷。它介于两者之间,我认为它是完美的。如果天气太冷,味道就会变淡;如果天气太热,蔬菜就会失去脆脆的口感。除了蔬菜的酥脆外,您还可以从螃蟹和鳄梨中获得奶油味。它被扔进去的酱汁把它们拉在一起。这是当晚我最喜欢的菜之一。别忘了用筷子吃!最后,对于我的主菜,我让 Classie 为我选择了一道菜,因为我根本拿不定主意。龙虾和鱼子酱出来了。这道菜是一种小意大利面,里面有大块的嫩龙虾,拌入宽面条和白兰地奶油沙司。为了画龙点睛,您可以在上面放一些美味的咸鱼子酱。这太棒了,我以前从来没有吃过这样的东西。我强烈推荐这作为您的晚餐。
价值:如果你到现在还没猜到,这是一个必须付费才能玩的地方。这里没有便宜的东西,您甚至在开始之前就应该意识到这一点。这些部分在较小的一侧,所以也要注意这一点。
杜松子酒和果汁 = 16.00 美元
维达梅斯卡尔 = 16.00 美元
Mezcal 的大冰块 = 2.00 美元
大眼金枪鱼 = $22.00
蘸酱和薯条 = 17.00 美元
馄饨 = 17.00 美元
螃蟹和鳄梨 = 28.00 美元
龙虾和鱼子酱 = $68.00
如果你要在这里吃饭,请带上大钱包或信用卡。食物绝对值得。质量令人难以置信,但您需要一份开胃菜和一份主菜或 2 份或其他任何东西。我的观点是……这是一家需要付费才能玩的高级餐厅。
总之,我非常喜欢这个地方,我会回来的。还有其他我想尝试的东西,我期待着去看看!
