I enjoy restaurant week for all the obvious reasons, but mostly so I can try something new. The Green Cucumber Martini is a very pleasant summer libation featuring gin, simple syrup, basil, and cucumber puree. The glass is chilled and garnished with a sliver of cucumber. Bits of basil are suspended in the liquid, and provide little pops of licorice in some sips. Although a smidge on the sweet side for me, the Green Cucumber Martini is very pleasant, and I'll be trying to recreate it at home.
Dinner was a spectacular event as well, with the highlight being a duo of petits fours that tasted like pecan pie batter filling. WOW - with a sip of the Chateauneuf-Du-Pape that I saved for the desert!
Absolutely superb! 9
