We started off with the prosciutto, which I assume is the La Quercia prosciutto. It comes with a minted salsa verde and strawberries. The prosciutto was delicious and the salsa verde paired nicely. Bright spots of mint were nice. The strawberries, when ripe, were a great complement.
I'm a huge fan of oysters so I'm always drawn to order them but, you know, I am really not that big a fan of them cooked. These were lightly breaded though enough for the breading to crack as you cut them. The oysters were cooked perfectly and they were juicy. The sriracha/nori mayo (didn't taste the nori but maybe it added background flavor?) was spicy, a nice contrast. There was a brussel "kimchi" (quotation marks mine) which seemed to just be flash sauteed and then mixed in a sesame/soy mixture. It went well, but definitely not kimchi. Perhaps I am just nitpicking here.
Wagyu beef tartare. Hard to resist, so we didn't. Delicious as always.
It's a trend for us to go Saturday night so the lobster roll is available. We split this one. It was delicious. And the soup, as always, rich and flavorful.
We split the burger too. We're spoiled and I had hoped they would split it on plates for us, but we made due. The burger was solid as always. The fries were good. Though herbed as normal, they were completely lacking garlic. Whether that was an oversight or a new standard, I have no idea. We got a side of pickles and I found they were thinner than usual and not uniformly cut. Odd.
A wonderful meal overall. David and Tyler made us some delicious drinks. It's great to see such good things happening at their bar. Brian came over to speak with us briefly and we talked to him about STG. Seriously excited for that place to open in a couple weeks.
