Excellent food! I forgot to check if the menu's seafood bias was intentional. Octopus dish was labeled "spicy," but if it was, it was quite subtle. The portion was really generous!! The tagliatelle was hearty and did not have an overt chicken liver flavor. (It's "safe" for kids, including my daughter who loved it.) Halibut had interesting melange of vegetables with grapes and rhubarb playing some interest counterpoint. The sea bream was the best composition -- well balanced with complementing flavors of citrus, olives, and endive/fennel. Bravo. The strawberries and cream dessert was fabulous!!! Chef Connolly deserves her JB semifinalist nomination! Playful and elegantly composed take on the classic flavor combination!
