We are just at the tail end of a series of Bay Area visits, and unfortunately do not see going again anytime soon.<BR/><BR/>Love the spherification trend. Waiting to see how far it goes in terms of high end transferring to mid-range price points to lower end to street and so on....I can see it now. Spherification at Bazaar and Coi, later gastro pubs, then spherification sold from street carts in east LA.<BR/><BR/>Coi took it to a beautiful level with an accompanying signature fragrance. Were you tempted to lick your wrist?Food, she thought.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04510492084023508648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-75957720683282787502008-11-24T23:56:00.000-08:002008-11-24T23:56:00.000-08:00FoodDigger: Thanks Will!

We would've definitely liked to have had you up there.<BR/><BR/>Evan: Yeah, the goat's flavor was really something that I don't think I'd encountered before, though it wasn't just the meat, but the whole melange of ingredients.<BR/><BR/>About going with the beer, it was partly due to the irresistable selection, but also to the fact that my dining companion wasn't in the mood for wine. And as for the mojito, well, the Coi Aperitif just sounded so interesting!<BR/><BR/>I see your point about the "piece de resistance" though, and that's something I struggle with. Is a restaurant better for having all pretty good dishes? Or, can one really great dish save a string of lackluster ones? The meal was light however, and the lounge supplements, though comparatively unrefined, were a great help in that regard.<BR/><BR/>I found the service expedient and cordial, and had no complaints. When we arrived, the room was about 90% full, with about nine couples, all of whom seemed to be on dates. Age-wise, there was a wide range, from ~30 to ~60.kevinEatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874030588556187843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-22232746597446015512008-11-24T14:21:00.000-08:002008-11-24T14:21:00.000-08:00I accidently removed my post.

Whats the deal? <BR/><BR/>I dont think I would been able to handle the goat salads, "wild" tasting is not one of favorite flavors. <BR/><BR/>And the lounge dishes seemed as disconncted as you mentioned and belonged more to the nearby W hotel lobby than this spot.<BR/><BR/>I think the menu missed one major piece de resistance as the last course to take it to the Kevin Eats Top 10. I would have left hungry had I not had the 3 beers and the 6 pieces of bread. !<BR/><BR/>How was the service and the crowd? Did ithe room fill up on a Friday night?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10717740190840217881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-90113772121384563442008-11-24T11:59:00.000-08:002008-11-24T11:59:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Evanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09718005049811306574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-53885894419019044752008-11-24T09:42:00.000-08:002008-11-24T09:42:00.000-08:00As always, amazing pics and post.
