1. Cured Scottish salmon, tomato consommé, paddle fish caviar
2. Pressed foie gras and black figs, Pedro Ximénez reduction, toasted brioche
3. Pan-fried Scottish sea trout, white cabbage and pickled ginger, celeriac velouté
4. Fillet of beef with braised Kobe short rib, baby beets, Madeira sauce OR
Top sirloin of Sonoma lamb and confit shoulder, creamy pomme purée, rosemary jus
5. Cara cara orange three ways, cinnamon ice cream and rose water sabayon
6. Chilled coconut tapioca with passion fruit, candied ginger,
Milk chocolate and star anise gelato at the end.
We also had a wine flight - various wines and even some sake to go along with each course. Had to call for a ride home!
A couple of the courses were just ok, but at least half were amazing. The best may have been one of the two desert courses - the chilled coconut tapioca - I hate coconut and had never really had tapioca, but this thing was fantastic...
Wow now I am kicking myself for cancelling that reservation
But back on topic: *SPOILERS SORT OF* Though I am not listing any names or details, the lineup for season five has been reported. Do a search on the internet at your discretion and you'll find it
