Yesterday would have been my parents 76th wedding anniversary (had they still been around); our 26th anniversary was this past February, but we celebrated it last night at Le B, sort of an annual tradition.
Amuse...on the far right, white gazpacho with lobster. Middle is a scallop thing, and on the left, hamachi tartare on a nori cracker.
Signature dishes are signature dishes for a reason; they're good. Here, everything meant to enhance the seafood, dependent on season.
The tuna/foie...
And the oyster/uni:
On to the "barely touched," first up is Significant Eater's magnificent Bacalao...
And a lousy pic of a great dish - warm lobster "carpaccio" for me:
Significant Eater's "lightly cooked" poached lobster with truffled gnocchi:
What's really cool is that by this point, my wife is getting full, so I get like half that plate! While also enjoying the striped bass:
Those flowers are stuffed with a "mushroom casserole," in what must be a painstaking process. Let's just say that there is never a bite of seafood at Le Bernardin where there's any doubt about the precision of the cooking.
Some sweet stuff - 3 of the 4 ice creams and 1 of the 4 sorbets on offer, for me:
And my wife's hazelnut waffle cone thing:
Petit fours to go. A Stunning meal.
