Giardino: it used to be II Giardinos. It's re-opened down the street.
decor 9/10, the back patio is epic
wine is not that bad, we opened 2 reds. 6 people.
apptizers
Carpaccio of Beef Tenderloin Grated Egg White, Capers, & Honey Mustard Dressing
very good, super nice meat, thin and just creamy. not the cheap type where u have to chew a while with the connective tissue.
Lobster Bisque Crème Fraiche, Pea Shoots .... enough said.
Heart of Baby Romaine Wedges Caesar Dressing & Herb, Garlic Croutons (no eggs)
nicely done but there were too much garlic.
main course
Oven Roasted Pacific Sablefish, Horseradish Crust, Braised Lamb Ragout
really good. flaky and just perfect, not overly done.
Slow Oven-Braised Veal Ossobuco alla Milanese, Saffron Risotto
also very good. gave us a fork to dig into the bone marrow to eat on bread. epic.
could have used a kick of heat.
dessert
Baked Chocolate Soufflé with Chestnut Crème Anglaise, only took 12 minutes to make so that was awesome (versus 25 at other places)
ALMOND CANNOLI (qty 2) Zesty Ricotta Lemon Cream Blood Orange Sorbet
very legit. could have been a tad crispier ahhahaha i'm such a douchebag.
serivce 9/10
seating 7/10. it's a busy restaurant and it's always packed but we had a table of 6 in a circular round table. super small. It's a very jam packed place.
food 9/10
would go back again and again
