On our final evening in the city, we met family who drove up from Renton and had dinner at Sazerac. I started with a Gossamer with Tanqueray gin, St Germain liquer, Campari, lemon juice and egg white foam and a half dozen oysters on the half shell.
While the gang started with the Chef's Mixed Plate of Artisan Cheeses
Crispy "Truffles" or deep fried potato balls with truffle cheese and a truffle aioli
Cast Iron Cornbread served with molasses and sea salt butter
Chicken, Shrimp and Andouille Gumbo
And the Galia Apple and Spinach Salad with toasted pecans and smoked bleu cheese. The menu actually listed the salad as apple and celery but I guess Sazerac was out of celery and substituted spinach.
I also ordered the Nick Names Flight of Washington wines featuring a Saviah Cellars "The Jack" Merlot blend, Charles Smith "The Velvet Devil" Merlot and a Charles Smith "Boom Boom" Syrah.
We then progressed to the Special Grind Burger for the Mrs (she wanted fries)
The Florentine Pizza for S
The Hearts of Romaine Caeser Style for A
The Cider-Chile Glazed "St Louis Style" Pork Ribs for G
And the Pan Seared Scallops with chorizo and clams for D
While yours truly sampled the Carlton Farms Pork Cheeks with parsnip puree, bourbon mushrooms and fried kale. Very TENDER pork cheeks though they probably would have paired better with the fried shishito peppers as listed on the menu.
I also sampled the Claret Flight featuring Chateau Lande de Bertin, Bishop's Peak Cabernet Sauvignon and Chateau Ste Michelle Cabernet Sauvignon
The gang still had room for dessert so they sampled the Oooey Gooey Chocolate Cake
The Apple-Rum-Raisin Crumble
And the House-Churned Ice Cream
I selected a liquid dessert, the Flatliner with Kahlua, Bailey's, Frangelico, espresso and 151
The food and service were very good and there still were items on the menu I'd like to sample so yes, I would return next time we're in Seattle. Though I also would like to sample Salumi Artisan Cured Meats' Oxtail Sandwich (next served 12/4 to 12/7) along with several of Tom Douglas' delights... but that will have to wait until we return...
