And you know, it didn't taste like a tree at all!

We had dinner at Cedar, which is a delicious place.

We sat at the Chef's table, and started off with an amouse bouche, possibly because it was my parents' anniversary. The kids got a very tasty fried cheese rice ball of some sort, while the adults got a shrimp-radish-parmesan spoon.

 

IThe bread was excellent. I normally wouldn't have said anything or  but it was warm and crusty and tasty and served with butter and olive oil, and it was definitely a different taste to the olive oil. It tasted, and this sounds dumb to me, more olivey; like it was less processed than I'm used to. Which is entirely possible.

Claire, of course, felt required to test the structural integrity of the cheese from her lobster grilled cheese sandwich...

But my meal continued with a bison carpaccio with ground mustard, a goat cheese "crouton" (sortof more like a fried cheese ball), and cold ratatouille.

The main course was a rabbit sausage and braised rabbit leg with green pea agnolotti and morel mushrooms in a delicious gravy of sorts.

And dessert was (I'm still drooling over this...) a coconut tres leches cake with key lime ice cream.

Over all? Amazing. And very very expensive (upwards of $500 for the 7 of us), but very, very good.
