Couldn’t decide between red and white so.
Goat liver and scalding hot muffins. This was great. The cherries weren’t sweet, just slightly sour. Did they say they roasted them? The other two items were great though I didn’t want them with the liver.
Bread was just OK, not great like what I had in Chicago. Great relish, whatever it was.
They comped me a couple of oysters. Way hell of a lot going on there. There’s actually leftover clam liquid in the dough of the bread. Very rich.
Beet salad, excellent.
Straight-up chaat. Solid.
Green beans.
Goat belly, really good but very rich. I was hitting my limit.
Had to try the (housemade) oyster sauce stracciatella. Couldn’t taste oyster but the salty caramel sauce was great. My kind of dessert.
I was musing to the sommelier or server that Chartreuse would be a good match for that and they comped me a shot.
I liked all the dishes but everything was on the complicated side and I feel like a few dishes in I got palate fatigue. Would probably have enjoyed the meal more if I’d ordered only say four things. I had leftover green beans last night and they were much better than I’d realized, really a fun variation on the usual wok-charred Chinese dish. Some of the prices were surprisingy reasonable by LA standards.
