Unless it is the one below.
Who or what do you really love?
Harper.
She makes life fun, and makes me happy.
Citizen Cake = the yummy.
We had corn soup (which was phenominal, and probably the best I've ever had--and I just had some excellent corn soup at NoPa a week or two ago.), pea shoots sauteed with lemon, sea bass (Harper) with a salsa verde made from basil and other licorise/anise like greens and beans, and the duo of pork, which was a pork tenderloin and a pork confit. And then we had the love letter cake for desert, which was the highlight of the evening. We also had an excellent bottle of Reisling from Western Australia, two bottles of mineral water, two glasses of Muscat with desert, a basil mojito, and some sort of whiskey drink loaded with berries and kumkwats. The total bill was $189, plus tip.
They get points for lots of little details--like the artwork on the water and wine bottles here. There seemed to be a lot of thought put into the little things. I also respected our waiter, who didn't hesitiate to tell us that he had only tried this Reisling once and wasn't totally familiar with it before describing it. Then, moments later, he came back to the table to clarify something after reviewing his tasting notes, but before serving the wine. He also hooked us up with free bowls of soup, for no apparent reason other than to be nice. We got to chat with the owner/chef also, which I always enjoy doing, and the sommelier was also very cool. It was a great place for a birthday dinner.
