Description

Pork rinds with pickled shallots, veal sweetbreads, chickpea fritters plopped into a bowl of chilled cucumber soup. Is your mouth watering and your pulse racing? This ambitious lineup of seasonal dishes showcases this sweet little spot's approach to food. The focus is on offering Northwest ingredients in French-inspired dishes that push the borders of what that cuisine means. The menu is divided into snacks, plates and platters. Nothing novel there. But the dishes coming out of Tyler Moritz and Aleks Dimitrijevic's kitchen are refreshingly different. We're talking about duck egg with pea vines and chanterelles on brioche as well as a pork sausage spiked with curry. Bring a crowd to share the $75 rib eye, finished in marrow butter and lobster mushrooms. Go already!
