We all had a thali (rhymes with Molly; yeah I didn't know what it was either) which is apparently a round tray of ten little dishes. We enjoyed:
- nettle watercress soup -- a little sipper cup of warm, bright green yumminess
- blood orange, fennel and olive salad -- odd combo of flavors, but each tasted yummy on its own
- cauliflower salad with sumac and aleppo pepper (what's that?) -- also had some Parmesan cheese I think
- prawns with pumpkin seed sauce
- tandoor roasted pork tenderloin with green herb sauce - the pork was from Idaho (what what!) and there was some yummy anchovy in the bright green paste of fresh herbs
- golden beets, pea sprouts and hazelnut - probably the simplest, most unadorned dish and one of my favorites
- polenta diamond on chard greens (I think)
- baked farro with leek and sage
- rhubarb pickle
- a pretty little piece of naan
Their cocktails sounded super fun and yummy, but AJ and I went with a lovely flight of wine -- a white Tuscan wine, a pinot noir and a cabernet franc, all quite tasty. Michael enjoyed a Bitburger.
OH. I forgot to mention the crazy-delicious eggplant fries with honey and sea salt. So delicious! They are crispy and melt-in-your-mouth, and have that wonderful salty-sweet thing going on. Would go back again and again for those badboys!
