Message: | The chef's name is Sang Yoon. He used to be at Michael's and Chinois, in addition to training in France, although he is a Santa Monica native. I was in last Wednesday for a promised off-the-menu uni risotto, but unfortunately he was unable to procure the uni on short notice. Our party instead enjoyed the brandade, marinated montrachet cheese, jambon serrano, warm almonds and a provencal style marinated garlic vegetable dish. We drank trocken german riesling, alsatian riesling, cotes du rhone syrah, california carignanne, and a mosel gold kapsule auslese. A fine time was had by all. I admit that Sang is a friend, and even though he still owes me an uni risotto, I still only have nice things to say. But, be aware that food service stops at 10 p.m. |
