my friends enjoyed it - but they specifically very much enjoyed the ahi tuna (I’m a vegetarian, so I ate the veggie dishes)

Do you eat/taste the caviar that you sell?
yeah i eat eggs. There’s a dispute between vegetarians if fish eggs are considered vegetarian like poultry eggs are - but since I’m not a vegetarian for ethical reasons, I’m on the “all eggs are fine” camp.

That cabbage looks great.

the citrus one is my favorite one yet. Triggered my “not to sweet” sensibilities big time

Way salty on my visit. Definitely overshadowed by those crack cocaine potatoes.
Hi @PorkyBelly
Hmmm… anything else? How was the foie, ricotta, jam? It looks a little strange. What does the egg yolk do for the steak? Asking for a friend. 
Thanks.

I never really thought about it and always put roe in the non-vegetarian food category until last week at Manuela when my strict life long vegetarian sister ate trout roe. She said “They’re eggs. I feel like eating them.” Okay!
It’s good but agree that it’s nothing close to the potatoes
the foie was frozen and then shaved so it melted in your mouth like a creamy, liver-y snow, the jam provided the sweetness and when eaten with some ham and piping hot bing, it’s like the foie version of ham, butter and honey.
the steak was super tender and flavorful, the egg yolk was meant to be a dipping sauce like in sukiyaki. I ate mine with rice and the crack cocaine potatoes, it was delicious. I believe previous versions of this dish came with a side of onions or mushrooms, I think that would have been even better, not sure why they removed that.
citrus pavlova was a bit tart, my favorite is the stone fruit pavlova

No more BS fries with the steaks?

When they reopened in the fall of 2020 I had them on my visit. So maybe they will be back!
