This place was pretty awesome. The restaurant has light club music playing with a nice romantic atmosphere in the dining room. The menu is New American with some dishes having Asian notes. The food was great, the service was amazing and the meal was wonderful overall. This place is a popular place but it is a place you would probably be surprised how much you spent on dinner. Is it expensive? Of course. Is it worth a visit? 100%.
The food:
Peconic Golds Oysters Friskafella- with garlic-scented spinach, chipotle, parmigiano aioli. The oysters friskafella was simply amazing! They were so freakin good that I had to order a second order before the entrees came out. It's a take on an oyster Rockefeller but the oysters were magic, the parm aioli was absolutely heaven. This is a must order, correction, you should order at least two orders. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=bZSGGdn23T-B1p1lrlXceA&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA
Crescent Farms Duck Breast- with creamy polenta, baby argula, bing cherry-port reduction. I enjoyed the duck, the duck was cooked nicely, but what I really appreciated was how the duck didn't have that fatty/greasy feeling when you sometimes have duck. The creamy polenta paired well with the duck, it added a nice savoriness to the duck. The one thing, I did like the cherry-port reduction but I found it to be a bit too sweet and I felt they put too much of it on the plate. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=_KEocDV-rTPucqCTC-MHqg&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA
Seared Peconic Bay Scallop- with coconut sticky rice, green curry broth, bok choy, cashews. The scallops were cooked perfectly, the bay scallops were small but they packed so much flavor. The coconut sticky rice was kinda weird for me since the texture of the sticky rice was kinda gloopy and the rice really didn't have much texture. The flavor of the green curry was OK but there was a bit too much coconut milk, I wish there was more of a curry flavor to it. The addition of the cashews was great, I really liked the flavor of the cashew with the scallops and the curry. Overall, an OK dish but the texture of the rice and the flavor of the green curry kinda bugged me. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=9xy_ydosGq_-93_wcLT16g&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA
Warm Virginia Pecan Pie- with salted caramel ice cream. I really enjoyed the salted caramel ice cream and I loved the whole, large pieces of the pecans. The flavor was great but most importantly, it was not too sweet like how it most often times is. The only issue, I thought the crust was just OK, the crust was not as flavorful as I would have hoped and the texture could have been a little flakier but the filling was so perfect. As a whole, I really enjoyed the contrast of sweet and salty from the pecan pie filling to the salted caramel ice cream. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=pbVq0X76qfR1oO4zlssPeg&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA
