3/25/2010 Ventana

i found myself at ventana, in belltown after a gig last friday. i was so hungry i chose to order off the menu and decided why not. TBH i don't see this place really lasting the duration. it reminds me of the place that is there because that's the current fad, and the neighborhood needs some place to let people meet, eat, and drink...  but maybe i'll be wrong. we'll see.






pecorino and potato gnocchi
pork trotter, caramelized turnips, foie gras brodo

it sounded really good on the menu. i mean how can you go wrong with those ingredients?  the gnocchi was light enough as to no be a heavy blog of dough which really made me happy. the brodo had a pleasant rich aroma, but sadly was very thin. i would've liked to have had the brodo be thick enough to stick to the gnocchi and this was like water.

but never fear, not 1 morsel went uneaten.
