Creative and tasty 4-course prix fixe, and quite a value for SF at $87/pp.

1 – early girl tomato, serpentine cucumber gel, crème fraiche, dried koji. This was refreshing, riff on tartare

2 – torched hiramasa, ninja radish, chive mayonnaise, sudachi citrus which paired well with the fish

3 – summer squash caramelle, mint emulsion, mint oil, brown butter crumble…this was a play on caramel candy, what appeared to be corn was actually squash balls

4 – plankton spaghettini, little neck clams, gremolata, white wine…the plankton powder and pasta was an umami explosion

5 – Berkshire pork collar, rosa bianca eggplant, summer bean ragout, mustard…quite a large portion, very tenderly cooked pork

6 – mt. lassen trout, Jimmy nardello nage, celtuce, corn tuile…the pepper sauce gave flavor to what’s usually a mild fish

7 – market fruit sundae, lemon yogurt cake, brown butter, apricot peach preserves

8 – chocolate pear, crème fraiche cake, almond shortbread, pear sorbet (very good!)
