Walter Hansel Wine & Bistro is located in Santa Rosa at 3935 Guerneville Road, where the old Zazu was located.
Liberty Duck Rillettes--$13.50. Confit duck leg, baguette croutons, cornichons, Dijon address. This was just an okay appetizer. The duck was tender but it needed more flavoring.
Confit Duck Gizzards Salad--$9.50. Frisee, lardons, trumpet mushrooms, organic coddled egg, bacon vinaigrette. Still my favorite appetizer. I like the tang of the dressing and the creaminess of the egg.
Special of the evening--Gazpacho with Scallops. Refreshing soup with perfectly cooked scallops.
Grain of Paradise Liberty Farm Duck Breast--$25. Tromboncino squash puree, compressed Frog Hollow Farm peach, fingerling potatoes, hibiscus gastrique. The medium rare breast was tender.
Niman Ranch Flat Iron Steak--$24, served with hydroponic watercress. The steak was so tender and flavorful.
Pommes frites served with the steak. Crispy matchstick potatoes, tender on the inside.
Special of the evening--salmon.
Floating Island--$7.50. Poached meringue, caramel, Creme Anglais, crystallized ginger, toasted almonds.
They also have a midweek 3-course $29 dinner. I'll have to go back and try that.
