El Dorado Kitchen revisited

I had a sneaky suspicion that El Dorado Kitchen was something really special, so today I was back for a proper dinner...oh man, was it worth it.

Cocktail: Raspberry cosmo charbay raspberry vodka, fresh lime juice, muddled fresh rasberries $9

Starter: Oak hill farm mixed greens mission figs, candied walnuts, la bodega sherry vinaigrette $9

Entree: Sturgeon from the Colombia river on a bed of creamy polenta, fennel and a hog-broth I think. $26 This was a special item not on the menu.

Come to find out- the executive chef, Ryan Fancher was sous chef (second in command) at Napa's French Laundry, the only three star Guide Michelin restaurant on the west coast, now running his own show here. On the way out I saw that "EDK" also had their own Michelin recommendation on the wall. So it wasn't just me who really liked this place.

This was a very enjoyable evening.
