Sable, Round 1
- Soft poached egg with Serrano ham - my favorite of the night.
- Crispy pork belly B.L.T.s - I love pork belly.
- Pork spare ribs - Tender and flavorful, although the "root beer glaze" tasted more like lots of dijon mustard. The sauce was a bit overpowering.
- Blue Hill mussels - Cooked well, but they're mussels; you love them or hate them.
- Irish whiskey bread pudding - I don't think the Irish whiskey cooked out as much as it should have. But I love whiskey so I can't complain, although I think my dinner date had a different opinion.
Sable, Round 2
- Roasted pumpkin gnocchi w/hazelnut cream sauce and fried sage - gnocchi, when done right, is delicious. This had the right texture, but not as much of a pumpkin taste as I wanted.
- Pork belly B.L.T.s - same as before, just as good as I remember.
- Seared scallops w/tomato chutney and madras curry oil - quite possibly my favorite dish of the night.
- Orange glazed quail w/rice cake and baby bok choy - a nice, sweet glaze, although I think the quail I had at Landmark was better (and meatier). The rice cake and bok choy were nothing special.
Sable is popular for a reason - consistently good food, a great atmosphere (if not a bit loud), and a solid menu suitable for everyone.
