The one star experience
A slight leap in the blog queue.
Last night a group of friends and I went to Terra in St. Helena for dinner. Originally we had planned to go to Ad Hoc but we couldn't get reservation. Our second choice turned our pretty well though, hell it was awesome.
What we ordered.
Fried rock shrimp with Fomi Brown's Organic Greens and chive mustard sauce- regular fried shrimp.
Capellini with caper vinaigrette and Japanese cucumbers- pleasantly light pasta appetizer, didn't really taste the capers, which i dislike.
"Sopa de Ajo" Spicy garlic and bread soup with Poached lily's egg- didn't get the chance to taste.
Lobster tortelloni in saffron lobster broth with cipollini onions- you can definitely taste the present of lobster in the sauce. tasty
Panko crusted Miyagi oyster on Pork belly kakuni in black vinegar sauce- Combination of the crispy oysters with the rich and tender pork belly was awesome. Fat on Fat, the work of a genius. This dish was surprisingly not greasy.
Broiled sake marinated black cod and shrimp dumplings in shiso broth. Flavorful yet not over power the taste of the fish. Broth was delicate. Did not taste the shiso though. A refined dish.
grilled maine lobster and hokkaido scallops with garlic parsley forest mushroom sauce-did not taste
grilld kurobuta pork with yukon gold potato puree and green olive raisin caper salsa- tasty but not memorable
grilled libtery farm duck breast on chantrelle and chestnut risotto with saba sauce- tasted like fillet mignon.
grilled sonoma lamb loin chops with puntatella, cauliflower and garum- again decent, but not memorable.
Eureka lemon cake with meyer lemon ice cream and hukleberry sauce- did not taste
hot chocolate and churros- chocolate was a bit to spicy
apple and quince crepe with apple cider sacue and dulce de leche ice cream- decent
orange risotto in brandy snap with moscato gelee- interesting contract in texture and presentation.
tira mi su- did not taste
pineapple sorbet and dulce de leche ice cream with coconut tuile- biggest tuile i've ever seen
