We had a great time last night - it was the emptiest I've ever seen at Palena, but the food was as good as ever. I started out with a Potato, Leek and Oyster Soup that was sublime. The RC Zin was drinking absolutely deliciously. The beef carpaccio that everyone else ordered looked delicious too. We then all ordered the Hazelnut-Ricotta Ravioli in Lobster sauce... mmm mmm good with the Bonneau du Martray 1999 Corton-Charlemagne. It was a little tight in the beginning, but it opened up nicely.
The lamb for our mains were fabulous, and the Match/Wolf Cab showdown was close, but I preferred the Match by a hair. And the napoleon for dessert was excellent.
Thanks guys for a fun evening!
