Darn! I didn’t see you. Anyway, I figured I would bump this thread and report back since no one else seems to have posted a review yet. Tavern was hopping on its first night open and as trite as it sounds, there really was...

/handling. Prep: —don’t trim the fat, esp if you splurged on prime (what do you think makes it PRIME?) —don’t marinate tender cuts (strip, ribeye, tenderloin), but do marinate tough ones (top sirloin, skirt,...

and Yountville I made my hotel selection and plane reservations for one - traveling solo this time there would be no “I don't like the menu” to be heard – left to my own devices it would be a foodie experience...

There was a place in Nashville that had great steak fries, and one of the dishes they were served with was a steak sandwich that came with a horseradish/sour cream sauce. I always used all of that sauce on the fries! Since then...

: Roasted Chicken with a different set of seasonings depending on the mood. Grilled Veal Chops with wild mushrooms. Grilled steak (filet, skirt or hangar) Depending on the market, one or two fishes/seafood. Salmon, shrimp (either...

for an opening night. hangar steak was decent but the bearnaise was great. Great fish soup, potato lyonnaisse, butter lettuce sald. Agree that the foie gras is one of the best around. My only hope is that they expand their smaller...

wanted to eat outside, and our theories about low standards and how people in the neighborhood accept them were borne out right away when I got an iced tea, which was the powdered variety. Anyway, we did like Sotto Voce that one...

them in icy cold mugs. I tried asking for a room temp glass but they either had warm ones staright from the dishwaher or the frozen kind. So to set me off on the wrong note i began drinking my beer whose taste had been ruined. 45...
