Lenoir
A dinner to celebrate the beginning of a new decade
The best bite came from the seared antelope heart, crepes and turnip puree. The texture was very unique. It was incredibly tender and gamy in a positive way. The crepes were a perfect complement to the meat. My husband and I also shared the charred tomato with smoked ricotta and whey sorbet. The sorbet added a neat texture and temperature to the meal, but I don't think the flavor of the sorbet packed enough punch. The leek and pimenton agnolotti with leek top fondu, sun golds and potato chips was nice, but not a standout. We also enjoyed the snapper crudo with avocado puree and red cabbage. My second favorite bite came from the dish even though it's not pictured. There was a strong flavor with a delicious crunch. Finally we enjoyed a sweet and savory dessert. The Thai basil shortbread with olive oil water oak chevre and honey chili mulberry. It hit the spot... especially given we knew 30th birthday cake awaited us later in the night. We shared six courses. Lenoir does 3 courses a person for $38. I highly recommend sharing every dish so you can enjoy a taste of everything. Overall the portion size was perfect because we were going out. But if you don't have any plans later in the night, you'll likely be tempted to order another couple of dishes. http://lenoirrestaurant.com/
