First Time at Chez Panisse (downstairs)
Dinner menu for/from (last) to/night (Monday):
Warm asparagus salad with farm egg and pancetta
Gigot a la ficelle: Watson Ranch spring lamb leg roasted in the fireplace; with fava beans, sheep's milk cheese, and braised chicories
Meyer lemon tart
Man, it was really good. I mean, really good. It was a hard hit to the wallet and I'm not sure I'll be eating at the downstairs again unless I come into quite a bit more money. That said, it was something that's definitely worth doing at least once.
Non-food Highlights: The overly Marined couple at the table next to ours, who were at one point observed saying "Well, that's as good a meal as you'll get in a *restaurant*."
