4 courses…3 were awesome!  

First course was a salt cod salad with egg, kalamata olives, grapefruit, onion all on that lettuce that’s not really lettuce.  I actually tend to pick each and every piece of it out of my salads when I can.  I call it, “the weed”.  The vinaigrette was fantastically flavorful, and I liked the unexpected combination of everything else that wasn’t fish orweeds lettuce. 

We came on grilled short-rib night…and OMG…those baby’s were out of control!  melt in your drooling mouth delicious-o!  And they brought out so much.  They serve everything family style and I love that.  

Next was a cheese plate, camembert, spanish almonds and quince.  Love. Cheese, mmm.

For dessert we had crepes with a lime sabayon sauce, grilled pineapple and sprinkled with a wonderful salt.  nice and lightly perfect after those heavy short-ribs.  

We celebrated my dad’s birthday that night.  Lucky him with 4 lovely ladies!  Had to get a pic in front of the sign.  Cheesy, yes…but necessary.
