The Sig-O and I stopped in last night to see how Paul Pinnell's new venture is going at One Arts Plaza and got a chance to sample executive chef Joel Harloff's menu. The restaurant crew is still recovering from the grand opening earlier in the week, which Cathy Barber blogged here. Pinnell says they had 600 people. Without getting into review territory, let's just say that the chardonnay-steamed scallops with sunchokes and heart of palm in a puddle of orange butter was a stunner. Too, I like the way Harloff gives fruits and vegetables a more prominent role in his dishes. I like the wine list's variety. It also gives you lots of by-the-glass options so you can match courses. The Pavie-McQuin Bordeaux Rose was a good match to a warm summer night: clean, fresh, with bright fruit and a quick bye-bye. I'll be back. |

Why no mention of Rudy Mikula? He is the wine director at Dali?

SL, Rudy is definitely the wine director. Pinenll told us Mikula had gone home early, having been at the restaurant, still mopping up from Sunday, since 9 a.m.
