SANTI – NEW RESTAURANT FROM MICHAEL WHITE

Santi is everything we hoped for and more. Food and service are impeccable. It’s expensive but as everything is a la carte you can control how much you spend.

We wanted to try a number of dishes so ordered more than necessary. We started with 2 appetizers, razor clams with mussels and orange, and squab (roasted breast and leg, liver toast and fig). Next we shared the orecchietti with crab and sea urchin. For mains Stanley had zuppa di peche and I had guinea hen. Both were large enough to take the remainder home for a lunch. For dessert we shared the gelato, which was outstanding. We were given 2 more complimentary desserts, lemon cake (very pretty presentation but not exciting flavor) and a tartlet with pistachio, ricotta, and pear (delicious).

Amuse bouche, mignardises, and wonderful focaccia complete the meal.

With a bottle of an excellent rose ($80), tax and tip, the total was $386.

Can’t wait to go back!
