Restaurant week was good to me this year. Ate at Fishtail, the month old spot with the David Burke lable. It's all sustainable seafood with a gourmet flair. $35 pre fixe menu. Three items for 1st and 2nd and four deserts. I began with warm oysters, followed by the calamari "mac and cheese". Both were excellent, though the only "mac and cheese" I could figure out was that the sauce had some cheddar in it. Otherwise it was calamari, pasta and an excellent cheese sauce. The desert was a pineapple tart. It was perfect. We also had a 2005 Cru Beaujolais Cote de Brouilly, T has a photo of the label. The wine list was extroidanary. Two pages of Boardeaux in all the cru's. They ranged from $90 to $4000 a bottle.
When everything was said and done, I felt great. Elated really. Good dining can definitely transform.
