They offered a $39 dinner.
Focaccia served after ordering. These were light and soft.
Corkage is $15 per bottle. We brought a bottle of Testarossa Chardonnay.
One of the options for the first course was Blue Leg Farms Newham Gem Caesar with Garlic Anchovy Dressing and Boquerones on Garlic Crostinis. This was a really good salad and the anchovy dressing did not overpower.
The other option was Asparagus and Green Garlic Soup. It had Lemon Creme Fraiche and Focaccia Croutons. This was creamy and paired well with the Chardonnay.
We also brought a bottle of Sens3S Pinot Noir.
One of the options for the Main was Liberty Duck Confit, served with Forbidden Rice Cake, Sauteed Bok Choy, Napa Cabbage & Pea Shoots, Orange Star Anise Sauce. I was wary of the Asian theme but it actually had a nice taste.
Another option for the main was Braised Sebastopol Lamb Sugo, San Marzano Tomatoes, Sebastopol Citrus, Castelvetrano Olives, Baby Spinach, Marjoram, Chive & Potato Gnocchi, Parmesan. This had so much potential but didn't quite succeed. The lamb was tender but they were shredded instead of chunks. The gnocchi was mushy. The sauce was good but the shredded Parmesan was industrial. I liked the olives the best.
Dessert options included Sebastopol Meyer Lemon Bundt Cake with DMS Ranch Whipped Cream and Candied Lemon. The cake was a little dry.
The other option for dessert was Chocolate Pot de Creme with Candied Orange Peel and Whipped Cream. This was thick and creamy.
They ran out of the Chocolate Pot de Creme and offered a Blackout Cake as a substitute. This had a layer of chocolate cake, a layer of creme fraiche, a layer of chocolate mousse and was covered with a thin ganache. I liked the pot de creme better.
