Eat part 3: Baru 66

After I finished my dinner at the recently opened restaurant Baru 66, the waitress came up to my table and asked how everything how was. My response was "I think I just found a new favorite restaurant." I'm not sure if the chef is single or not (or even what he looks like and if he has a nice personality) but I think I may be in love.

My first course was the potato leek soup and, before you start yawning, I must mention this was not your typical potato leek soup. The soup was a creamy bisque with salmon fillet in the middle circled by escargot and then topped with caviar. And yes, it was as good as it sounds. The second course was the Parisienne gnocchi which was wonderful. The gnocchi actually tasted like potatoes with a hint of chive making it kind of an upscale comfort food. The final course was a peach creme brulee. It had whole chunks of peach in it and was served in a long shallow dish which meant more sugar to crack on the top (if you've seen the movie Amelie, you know what I'm talking about.

This was my favorite Restaurant Week stop and I will checking it out again hopefully in the near future. You can check out some pictures at their facebook page.
