I arrived early - 6:30 - to enjoy some quiet time in talking with extraordinary all-around-guy & bartender, Alix . . and proprietor David. It’s a rare opportunity to do so as the restaurant quickly fills with guests who seek — and deserve — the gentle, thoughtful ministrations of #santafesbh.
Among them, the fascinating guests seated at a table nearby to me at dinner. Typical of the overheard conversation, a discussion of whether it’s best to enter into Africa’s Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park through Mozambique or South Africa — a concern that never has occurred to me!
Dinner began with a tasty amuse bouche of shrimp & roasted pineapple, with a light teriyaki sauce.
First course . . . tuna tataki in a sauce of ginger, shallots, coriander, soy & oyster sauces, with olive oil. Remarkably fresh & tasty tuna!
. . . followed by an extraordinary filet mignon avec frites (a substitution for mashed potatoes).
. . . and delicious chocolate moelleux with raspberry sorbet (non-dairy substitute in lieu of vanilla ice cream)
With a special wine, Saint Emilion Grand Cru . . . flawless service . . . truly fine food preparation & service . . . a magnificent & memorable evening. These “guys” hustle & present as a top tier SBH restaurant.
