Restaurant taking up the space left by Hatch. Approximately 4 tables; counter seating 6. Same group as Interval and Vivant.No corkage, but their group’s wine selections have always been good- so ordered a bottle of red Burgundy. Only 1 set menu (seven courses for $880 pp). Here’s what we had.French Fine de Claire oysters with a slightly acidic gooseberry dressing; balanced well with the freshly fruity flavor of the oyster. Cuttlefish with shisho leaf and taramasalata (a Mediterranean mayonnaise)

French Fine de Claire oysters with a slightly acidic gooseberry dressing; balanced well with the freshly fruity flavor of the oyster.
Cuttlefish with shisho leaf and taramasalata (a Mediterranean mayonnaise)
Smoked katsuo (鲣鱼/Bonito) with coffee vinaigrette and Pickled beetroot
Monkfish liver in the form of a Creamy mouse, to be spread on a slice of sourdough. On the side: Japanese fruit tomato, wine vinegar and vegetarian caviar which was in fact Belvedere Fruit (地肤子), a Mild Chinese medicine good for treating Eczema.
Loved the sourdough- which was made with Sesame and semolina (a type of coarse flour made from durum wheat, slightly golden in color).
Crab bisque made with Local and Japanese crab; with Puff pastry topped with bits of Corn. Unfortunately was only served Lukewarm; def not hot enough.
Charcoal grilled Pomfret with sake butter sauce.
Three yellow chicken with sauce made with clams and Drops of oil made with lovage (欧当归, which tasted similar to celery and parsley).
Shima aji belly in a Pork knuckle and squid sauce; chopped bits of Mexican tomato.
Eel- aged for 5 days, wrapped in kumbo, submerged in iced water. Steamed first, deboned then grilled. Sansho sauce with carrot oil. Loved the light crunchy skin and moist meat.
Sake kazu ice cream made with sake lees and Sticky rice on a bed of coconut jelly.
Jasmine tea Madeleines dribbled with homemade Slow cooked strawberry jam.
In summary: enjoyable dinner. Chef managed to expertly deliver the restaurant’s philosophy of bringing to diners the ultimate seasonal land meets sea experience.
