i have to admit i really enjoy dinners here. the smaller plates being served family style just really are my thing. matt and i had dinner here before il trovatore. christopher and christa bailed. we thought about it, after the Herbfarm last night we spent most of this day just lolling around. but we hadn't seen that opera so we decided to go ahead on out.

Bruschetta: chicken liver mousse, pear mustarda
chef ethan's pate/mousse bruschetta i think are the best overall i've ever had. i have to give chef renee credit for hers (chicken liver mousse with pickled plums and dijon) they were pretty good, but there was just enough bite i only wanted a few, but i could make a meal on chef ethans.
Duck Confit: faro, parsley pesto, sultana
we've had this one before, but it was still just as good as the 1st time.
Baked Radiatori: fontina cream, pangratatto
oh wow. this was killer! there was a little kick of spice in it that just made this work. i kind of wish we had 2 of them.
Panini with salomi gentile, pickled pepper, taleggio
that was it this meal. we had water to drink and no dessert! i know! but after all that food and wine the night before, we were simply on food overload. don't worry though, we knew we had reservations for the end of the month and we made up for any lack of over-indulgence on this trip.
