Roots Bistro Gourmand
Tasted Sunday, December 20, 2015 by VDLT Wine with 220 views
With Diane & Joel. Enormous portions of complex dishes, combining a mind numbing number of ingredients ncluding a lot of truffle, cheese & horseradish & fruit in everything. Food was fine and service from a young staff unusually good for Long Island. Corkage quoted as $10/bottle or $25/table with tasting menu was charged at $12.50/ but who's quibbling.
all very tasty & very different:
1) Compressed Eggplant
sunchoke, edamame, dashi, butternut squash
2) Autumn Pasta
chestnut, fontina, butternut squash, sage, truffle
3) Truffled Lamb
pumpkin, walnut, porcini, truffle
Also an impressive array but the crispy skinned pork stood out
1) Black bass & Prosciutto
sunchoke, date, mitake, potato popcorn, horseradish
2) Octopus
potato, spinach, bacon, gorgonzola, olives, apple
3) Pork Belly
endive, gruyere, apple, porcini, brioche
1990 Fritz Haag Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese
Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer
A very special bottle of Riesling at peak performance. Nothing specific to mention. The whole outshone the sum of any parts. Worked with the myriad of dishes we ate.
