Bronzini Mi Harti

Bronzini Mi Harti

Bronzini is a Mediterranian fish, which is a lot like sea bass, is growing in popularity, but Komi was the first place I knew of that started serving it.

This suckling pig is the best dish at Komi and tastes a lot better than it looks in this photo.

Grilled Stuffed Squid

Grilled Stuffed Squid

I had this grilled stuffed squid the other day at 2 Amys. It was stuffed with bread crumbs, anchovies and a whole mess of other wonderful ingredients.


Octopus Salad

Octopus Salad

Another treat at 2 Amys. A octopus salad. I actually didn't get to try this, but I thought this bowl looked so beautiful with the octopus, cilantro, and lemon, that I had to take a picture of it.

Smoked Swordfish topped with homemade italian dressing. Yum!

This was the "exciting at first, but bland in the end" beef taco salad that Amy had at Las Margaritas.

Naan is naan.


Mini Dosa

Mini Dosa

In case you've never had a mini dosa before...it's a crepe filled with tomatoes, onions, peppers, and chicken. The filling itself is pretty spicy, but the chutneys on the side can either have a cooling effect or make the dosa even spicier.


Side Salad

Side Salad

This side salad came with my chicken tikka makhani. You have a choice of soup or salad.


Agnolotti

Agnolotti

Agnolotti stuffed with imported truffled double cream mozzarella and sweet peas in a light tomato sauce. This dish started out good, but then Amy got a little bored of it. I think it needed a spicy kick to the sauce.


Kobe Beef

Kobe Beef

Kobe Beef with fava beans, baby fennel with pecorino cheese and aged balsamic vinegar sauce. This was on the chef's tasting menu, but I ordered it a la carte. It was probably some of the best kobe beef I've ever had, but quite frankly, I only had kobe beef once before. $40 - ouch!


Buckwheat Papardelle with Pheasant

Buckwheat Papardelle with Pheasant

Housemade buckwheat flour Pappardelle with pheasant, porcini mushroom and tomato ragout. I swear there was Italian ham in the ragout.


Italian Bread Soup

Italian Bread Soup

Tosca didn't necessarily call this Italian Bread Soup which they happened to have on special, but it certainly seemed like it. Served at room temperature and a dollop of burrata di buffala mozzarella. On top of the tomato based broth (or gravy if you please) you can see the fried basil leaves.


Yellow Pepper Soup

Yellow Pepper Soup

Sweet yellow pepper soup with sharp pecorino cheese and olive croutons. This soup at Tosca was so "pretty".


Crab Au Gratin

Beef Cheeks

Beef cheeks with a french version of the navy bean, demi glace and green beans.


Melange of Seasonal Vegetables

Melange of Seasonal Vegetables

This dish at Corduroy is mainly all of the sides that they serve with the entrees. I was quite jealous of Amy when she ordered this. Asparagus, creamed spinach, sushi rice, carrots, green beans, shitakke mushrooms (I think), and potato au gratin.


Seared Salmon

Seared Salmon

My dad ordered the seared salmon with morel mushroons, asparagus, and a ring of mashed potatoes.
