It was a really interesting dining experience tonight, especially in the way it reinterprets familiar dishes. The summer roll was quite good. Instead of the usual rice paper wrapper, it used thinly sliced daikon that seemed lightly pickled. With the vegetables and savory sauce, it felt almost like a deconstructed salad, everything worked beautifully together with a crispy and juicy texture. The grilled bamboo and leek was another pleasant surprise. I normally don’t eat much leek, but the flavor worked really well here. The trout was cooked perfectly, especially compared with what I had the other night at BDT (disappointing The salmon crudo was especially thoughtful, with strawberry, mint, and puffed rice adding different layers of acidity, freshness, and texture. The rabbit was the one dish that didn’t quite work for me. I found the combination of rabbit and truffle a little challenging, as the truffle seemed to emphasize the gamey character of the meat. The fried crust was very flavorful but became somewhat heavy, although the acidic carrot agrodolce helped cut through the richness. Overall, I really appreciated the restaurant’s approach to flavor and texture. One thing I noticed was that several dishes leaned toward sweet, sour, and fruit-forward flavors. Still, there was a lot of creativity and thought behind the dishes, and I would definitely come back and try a different selection next time. Thanks to the team!
