I went to the ten course tasting held at Fazenda Coffee Roasters on Saturday night, and I thought it was amazing. And the chef was so pleased and exited--the whole house was just full of good vibes! Out of ten courses I would say that eight of them were excellent to amazing.
Corn soup
Fried oyster w/ lemon cream plus Raw oyster w/shallot
Arugula salad with fig and duck ham
Soft shelled crab with corn relish and corn remoulade
Short rib with polenta and black garlic sandwich

Hudson red cheese, apricot, and toast
Ethiopian coffee mousse with blackberry and white chocolate
Cheesecake with aprium, apricot sorbet, and homemade shortbread

we went tonight. $65 pp. we had a cafe table to ourselves as did many others. there were also larger parties which i didn't see seated so i don't know if they were together as a group, or seated communally. sold out room. 3 hrs 7:30-10:30 (food first plated at 8pm.) Loud and lively crowd.
handsome space, very nice enthusiastic young chef and servers. we had maybe 10 small plates and one 'large', including 2 dessert plates. we ate everything on every plate. the food was fresh and well prepared but there were maybe only 2 courses that impressed me. It just wasn't "oh wow! more more plse!" or as inventive as the May menu that inspired me to sign up for this dinner.
Key savory plate ingredients were: soft shell crab, scallop, steak, sweetbreads, chicken wing, 4 minute egg, pasta w/ morels. If you check the link above, i bet the full menu will appear soon. the july dinner will feature 7 courses from 7 continents.-

65 did not incl wine pairings but that option was $30 i think; beerpairings was $20.
We didn't do the pairings because we only drink red wine and they only had one red; odd and disappointing . (Suggested that they had a not very good wine adviser imo.)
Worth it? If i figure a typical $14 app and $28 entree and $9 dessert,that's $51, plus 8 tax=$59. I personally would likely have been happier with the food at Oleana, EVOO, Aquitaine, Rendezvous etc. But that's me and responding to this particular menu. I'm doubtlessly older and much more picky ( as a 30 yr. food professional) than you, so It might be a great experience for you. It's certainly a fun adventure, and the room full of people seemed very happy.For someone who is more of a food ingenue, it's certainly a good way to try lots of different food elements and cooking techniques and styles . And if one goes with a group, it makes for a lively dinner conversation.

I went to a chef's tasting this past Saturday night and the food was great! That was the consensus among my friends, too, who also attended. It will be worth going back when they really open up sometime in early Feb. Although I must say I am confused by whether they are going to be a savory menu or a dessert menu or both.
