So I just got back from lunch. But this was no ordinary lunch, seeing as I went over to York Street in East Dallas. In a word, it was divine! York Street is one of the few restaurants offering the $35 tasting menu at lunchtime. For starters I had the bouchot mussels with garlic bread bathing in a saffron-chourico broth. I was more than satisfied with my choice, though a diner sitting at a nearby table made me long for the lavener roast quail. (She let out a sultry ummm with ever bite...) For the main, I feasted on Berkshire pork scaloppini with savoy coleslaw, cracklin's and spiced black fig. And with all the recent blog talk about Sharon Hage's pan fried okra, I had to give them a try. (It's an extra on the menu, but well worth the additional $7.) And what better way to end the afternoon than with lemon pudding cake with wild Maine blueberries. I say why go ordinary for lunch when you can go divine? |

Steve and I went with a couple of friends to York Street last night for Restaurant Week. We'd really been looking forward to this, and it did not disappoint. Colleen and I each had the TLT (tuna, lettuce & tomato) appetizer and then the buffalo entree. Steve had the lamb-sausage starter and the quail entree. Eric had the salmon-and-avocado appetizer and the wolf fish entree, both specials for the evening. We all shared a side dish of Sharon's okra with green tomatoes, and had a modest California cabernet ($40). For dessert, we each had either the chocolate cake or lemon pudding cake with wild Maine blueberries. We left very happy and just wishing we could eat like that all the time...

My partner and I visited Craft the other night for Restaurant Week. The service was terrific and the food simply divine. The first course included an assortment of starters: a green salad with Gorgonzola and roasted figs, Maine shrimp with citrus aioli, and assorted heirloom tomatoes dressed simply with a vinaigrette. For the second course there were several options of which we chose the soy-glazed pork (superb) and he the roasted sea bass (also excellent). Pastry Chef Shannon Swindle's assortment of sweets for the third course are pretty much mind-blowingly good. We were served an assortment of two sorbets (raspberry, apricot) and two ice creams (lavender-honey, sweet corn) plus a dense chocolate cake with caramel (I think it was caramel...I was swooning too much to remember properly) and a cream cheese panna cotta with assorted berries that we were positively ga-ga over. At the end of service a tiny cup of house made toffee popcorn and two tiny chocolate crinkle cookies were presented...along with two $10 gift certificates toward a return visit for breakfast or lunch (nope, not applicable toward dinner).

We went to Steve Field's steakhouse last night & had an excellent experience. We had lobster corn chowder, filet mignon, and the most decadent yet moist chocolate cake ever. The wine pairings with the first 2 courses were perfect as well. The food & service from start to finish was above and beyond expectation. It could've only been better if the wait staff could have driven us home & tucked us into bed afterwards.

I also went to Steve Field's Friday night with a friend. The food and service were incredible. The manager came around several times to see how we were doing. They definitely did not skimp for RW nor did they rush us out. They even offered us the 4th course (mini-crab cake) without making me go back out to my car to get the CM certificate. I can't wait to go back.
