New modern French restaurant from Chef Jared Stafford-Hill.
Previously, he had a restaurant of the same name in Syracuse, where he received numerous awards, including one from Wine Spectator.
He's not new to the city, having previously worked at some of the best restaurants in NYC, i.e. Gramercy Tavern and Hearth.
This restaurant was highly recommended.
First off, the restaurant is stunning, with 'stars' hanging from the ceiling and a big bouquet of flowers in the dining room.
The restaurant is advertised as fine dining with a focus on wine, an understatement. I went with the premium wine-tasting, and it was one of the best wine pairing I had in a restaurant, which complimented beautifully with the wonderful tasting menu (see menu and food photos). So many nice, pricey wine, reasonably priced, imo. They could have easily charged more.
From the wonderful tasting menu:
Meyer lemon-cured Danish hiramasa with green almonds and favas
Halibut veronique with muscat grapes and white asparagus
4 year-aged parmigiano custard with morels and green garlic (chef's signature dish and one of the best restaurant dishes, imo)
Heritage chicken on a spit with chiogga beets and rhubarb
Beef duo bourgignon with heirloom carrots, lardons, chanterelles and cippolini
Palate cleanser
Chocolate confit paris brest poached apricots and almond praline
Petit fours
Service - wonderful
