The sable is smoked in-house and presented on a julienned bed of radish, carrot, and cucumber with a kumquat vinaigrette garnished with slices of jalapeno. Here we have a fission of flavors; the silkiness of the smoked sable, the crunch of the vegetables, the spiciness of the jalapeno bound together with a spritely vinaigrette. My tastebuds were dancing. All to be wrapped in the richness of the chowder that followed. Ah-h-h.

Desserts were a delight. We had the chocolate angelfood cake with the Cabernet Sauvignon-Bluberry sorbet and my tongue is still shivering with pleasures. The cafe au lait creme brulee was also very satisfying. Let us know what tempts your palate tonight. Fri Apr 25 12:00:01 -0700 2003 91682 0 Cynthia
