They have a very reasonable wine list. We ordered the Villa Remotti Barbera d'Asti--$25.
Walter Hansel always has an amuse bouche. This was a shot of celery root salad.
The first course was a Mesclun Baby Greens and Asian Pear Salad, with Three Citrus Vinaigrette, Laura Chenel's Cabecou, Candied Pecans. This was tasty but a very small portion.
One of the options for the entree was Petrale Sole, with Poached Savoy Cabbage, Baby Leeks, Carrots, Marble Potato, Champagne Beurre Blanc. This was very good.
The other option for the entree was Grilled Akaushi Skirt Steak, with Wild Mushroom Demi-glace, Watercress. This steak was very well prepared and the demi-glace was delicious.
Pomme Frites were served with the Steak. These were delicious and came with a cumin aioli and Heinz ketchup.
Dessert was Fresh Raspberries and Meringue Brittle, with Bellweather Farm Creme Fraiche, Raspberry Coulis. This was good but laughable as part of a $39 menu.
At the end of the meal, you get a shot of either Madeira or Sauternes.
Overall, this was disappointing. Walter Hansel normally has a $35 3-course menu. For the $39 Restaurant Week menu, I would have thought they would have thrown in a little something extra. And, no, the amuse and the shot are not the something special. They serve those regularly.
