Dinner @ Gramercy Tavern
Aside from the little tasters (ratatouille crostini, pesto pasta, strawberry panna cotta and sorbet, mango jelly and white chocolate ganache), the free coffee muffin, the rather excellent Pennsylvania Pilsner, and a shot of Springbank 10, dinner consisted of:
Maine Crabmeat Fondue in a pea puree - a very piquant, sweet puree, with excellent, light, tasty crab.
Rabbit with Sausage, Mushrooms, Shalots and Potato Puree - succulent rabbit meat, cooked to near perfection, in a beautiful, rich jus.
Warm Pineapple Upside-Down Cake with Basil Syrup and Coconut Ice-cream. Gorgeous, warm yet tropical (ideal on a hot, sultry day like today has been). Though Alexis's uber-chocolate dessert was very very nice too :-)
All in all, probably the best meal I've ever had and well worth the $ I paid for it :-)
