Monti's

We had planned to try The Shuckery in Petaluma on Friday but they decided not to do Restaurant Week so we went to Monti's instead for their $29 3-course dinner. It's located at 714 Village Court, near the Montgomery Village.

This was a delicious white blend. Cline Cellar's Cashmere--$28. Buy one bottle and get free corkage on a 2nd bottle.

Citrus Marinated Baby Beets, Spiced Pecans, Hobb's Bacon, Chèvre Crema.

Burrata Cheese with Green Olive Tapenade, Fleur de Sel and Lemon. This was delicious and a huge portion.

Sole Almondine, French Green Beans, Fingerling Potatoes, Radish, Caper Brown Butter. The sole was great but I felt guilty eating it since it was swimming in butter.

Warm Chocolate Cake with Coffee Caramel, Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, Buttered Almonds. The cake had a strange grittiness, almost like unmelted sugar.

Warm Apple Spice Cake, Caramelized Apples, Hazelnut and Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. This didn't have much flavor and I couldn't find a trace of apples.
