Now that Court Street had become one of my new favorite dining spots in town, I wound up there again recently and had such a great meal that I needed to write another review. When my friend and I arrived at the cozy venue on a cold and damp Thursday evening, the place was packed like I had never seen; all of the seats at the bar were taken, as were all of the tables, except the one waiting for us. The crowded atmosphere did not affect the gracious service we received, but did cause us to wait quite a long time for our cocktails.
Speaking of beverages, I tried something new on that visit, the Sundress Spritz. The bright and refreshing concoction included PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur, champagne, club soda, and lime juice. It was similar to an Aperol Spritz, but was a bit sweeter and allowed me to avoid Aperol's included red food coloring. Our drinks were served with slices of their doughy baguette and a creamy olive tapenade, a duo that I look forward to enjoying each time I am there.
Now the true highlight of my meal was a nightly special that I could only hope would join the menu full-time - the Sauteed Filet of Skate. Wow, wow, wow! The skate was well-seasoned and probably the best I had ever had! It was cooked with herbs, saffron, and white wine and was also topped with diced tomatoes. As always, my protein was plated with sauteed vegetables, a beet puree, and my choice of potato, for which I selected the roasted variety. It was the most heavenly plate and such a satisfying meal, especially for only $25!
From Court Street's welcoming atmosphere to its excellent food and reasonable prices, it truly delivers a memorable experience!
