Craft Dinner

Ethan took me out for my belated birthday dinner on Friday.  Since we are both Top Chef fans, Ethan made reservations at head judge Tom Colicchio's restaurant Craft. We didn't see Colicchio there but we did have a fantastic dinner! Craft is  a nicely decorated space with friendly waitstaff.  The food is served family-style, so you pick the meat and sides you want.  Ethan ordered foie gras as an appetizer (I passed - no livers for me) and he said it tasted like bacon. But he also said it was strange to eat an organ. :)  Then we ordered scallops, quail, brussel sprouts and gratin potatoes.  Everything was so tasty, especially the scallops and potatoes! And we couldn't leave without getting dessert - Ethan ordered the Banana Chocolate Waffle and I got doughnuts and hot chocolate.  The doughnuts were made to order and were still warm when they arrived at the table.  They were served with chocolate sauce and quince butter (which tasted and looked like applesauce).  It was quite a meal and worth every penny.  It was definitely the fanciest dinner I've ever had!
