Eric got the grilled Wagyu steak with truffled creamed spinach and yukon gold potato tots. Kim got the brick-pressed honey glazed duck breast with ancho ginger reduction, boniato custard and wilted spinach.

And fortunately, everyone was willing to share. When it came to entrees, we had quite a variety. Because of splitting it five ways, I just got a couple little pieces of it, but mmm-mmm-mmm it was good. My favorite was the ahi carpaccio with foie gras, caramelized teriyaki glaze and petite herb salad. Flavorful, not too hot, and the asian pear in the salad was nice and crunchy. Then some grilled chicken wing in a sweet hot chile glaze, served with an asian pear and radicchio salad. I had the mango, and it was great, as was the little lick of yellow bell pepper that I got. There was a plate of three mini burgers with farmhouse cheddar and honey roasted shallots, each with a different house-made catsup - tomato catsup, mango catsup, and yellow bell pepper catsup. There were five of us, and we split three appetizers to start. They have a retail angle as well - you can buy any wine they sell for 30% off the listed price in the restaurant. Pretty reasonable variety, reasonable markup. Big wine list, as you'd expect from a wine bar - about 40 wines by the glass, and a broad but shallow selection of other bottles. Good mix of small plates and larger meals. Certainly helped that it was a baby-free night, but also a good restaurant.
