I have a new favorite restaurant and it's name is Schwa.
After 3 months of closing, chef Michael Carlson has re-opened his much-accoladed restaurant to the delight of many diners. And we were lucky enough to nab a table soon after the re-opening.
Here are the 10-courses that we had last night.
2) Jonah crab - crabs in vinegar with bananas, celery and coriander
3) Beer cheese soup - pretzel tasting soup with a small pretzel side and dijon mustard crisp.
4) Pad thai - jellyfish in pad thai sauce
4.1) Intermezzo- Uni ice cream - Need I say more? Loved it!
5) Arctic char roe - with pumpernickel, lemon, rutabaga - I'm just not a fan of pumpernickel but everything else worked. And the shot of rutabaga was fantastic!
6) Kona kampachi - with galangal, lime, maple - This was one of my favorite dishes , but I FORGOT to take a picture!
7) Liver and onions
8) Antelope - 2 ways - with white chocolate and butternut
9) Cheese - Humboldt fog
10) Dessert - Flan - Michael and the chefs say that this is their favorite.
Everything was simply perfection! Hope to go back very soon, if we can get another reservation, that is. (There are no waiters. The chefs server, wait and take the reservations. Hence, you almost never talk to a person for the rsvp. You leave a message and hope for the best.)
