I don't want to plan days in advance to order takeout food.
There's a subtlety in that guy's cooking that I haven't tasted elsewhere. I've had very good Thai food in Boston and NYC, but this one wins, hands down. Yeah, the wait is a bit ridiculous in this day and age, but since he buys fresh ingredients every day, so he has to know what to buy for the day. I actually like that approach.

Was so, so good.

In case your wondering what it is (from their menu): Angel Hair Basket with Beef Tenderloin, Lobster, Shrimp, Scallops, Haricots Vert and Baby Carrots, Veal Glace and Tarragon Vin Blanc

The individual pieces may be tasty but it looks gross all mixed together that way.

Yikes.

It's missing a pork chop and a quail

The tarragon beurre blanc looks good though.

It really was good, I promise. The flavors all went together quite well, nothing was overpowering, and the baked pasta "basket" was fantastic.

Maybe you guys will find the appetizer and desert more appealing:

The dessert looks great.

I hate the plating. Something very nineties about it. What restaurant is this?

The nineties were a bad time for plating indeed. That torchon looks terribly done, IMO, assuming it is torchon.

I'm sure all of this was very good though and I would have loved to have that meal last night instead of the ikura-don and spider rolls.

I had a great Panini from a local restaurant. it was very simple great fresh made bread, prosciutto, and provolone. It was incredibly simple and probably the best sandwich I have had in several years.

Did some snacking with a bottle of wine. The three cool items were the pork belly confit I made a few weeks ago, the salami I smoked several weeks ago, and the fresh veggies I pickled last weekend. Eating all these things I made myself is very gratifying.

Chorizo with potatoes, potatoes brava, chicken croquettas, lobster paella, manchego toasts, ceviche, calamari grilled with olive oil. Lots of good ****.
