Oh and the peekytoe crab salad was quite delicious with a good crunch vs soft thing going on.
Kerry and I were on the same page on almost everything. The baked alaska was really good, the acidity on the strawberry sorbet perfectly balanced the sweetness of the meringue. Delicious. I also enjoyed very much the crab salad, the marinated foie gras with the thin crispy top was very good. Also the caviar benedict very rich but quite enjoyable.
Overall in a world that moves toward lighter and fresher tastes I found it a little bit too rich for me and I'm not one person stingy on fats. I found some recurrent ingredients or flavors: potato, morels, sorrel, a lot of radishes.
A great service and a lot of attention to details from the nice wooden trays where the appetizers were served, they pile high and mimic the chandeliers. To the paper on the mast brothers chocolate and the nice granola they gifted us with the tin where we were served the caviar benedict with a printed menu included.
