This blog is from several months ago. Coming here for lunch is one of my favorite LA experiences. I have been coming here for years and remember one year not too long ago (before the recession) enjoying the live piano playing while drinking a glass of celebratory champagne. Divine and pure decadence. I loved the moment. Well, this day, they were hosting Dine LA, perfect for my favorite LA experience, right? This week's featured chief was Jason Longfield. For fifteen dollars, I think it was, you got 2 courses. I ordered the Ahi Tuna Salad and the crab mac n 'cheese. Crab mac n' cheese, where have I been?
I had a double experience with both culinary and social. Tony, the restaurant manager was very friendly, discussing juicing and his recommended Montel Williams brand. Javier was my server. He enjoys food and the cooking show on tv also. He said that he likes chief Anthony Boudain.
Okay, here we go, at first bite, creamy, and served in a soufflé dish with a spoon, nice looking. The consistency was good. I felt let down with this dish, expecting bits of crab in the dish. It was hard to tell where the crab was, looking for the taste each and every bite. It was probably pureed. Overall, I enjoyed it for what it was, it was good, but I was tantalized and teased but the title, wanting to taste a morsel of crab.
On to the Ahi Tuna Salad, "The Towering Delight", I named it. At first bite it was fresh, with a sweet flavor, crispy wontons, a light citrus dressing, with yellow and red peppers, carrots, bean sprouts, jicama, and spinach. This dish came stacked high with these delicious, surprisingly well balanced flavors. I would order this on any menu.
