Bar Purlieu

First time coming here and I’ll definitely be back. With the exception of the pork belly appetizer, everything we got was beautifully balanced and cooked well. So much so that I wonder what happened to the pork belly. It was REALLY over cooked, I am actually shocked that they would serve it. It was basically jerky. BUT ANYWAY, this is a 5-star review because the other three dishes we got made up for it! We got the clam appetizer (drool!) and for the entrees we got the filet and the prawns. The clams were like a deconstructed clam chowder with a beautifully delicious garlic herb topping that they went heavy on and I very much appreciated that. The filet was chefs kiss! On top of a radicchio purée that I found unique and enticing. The prawns were cooked flawlessly although I would definitely recommend getting the smaller size (unless your sharing with the table) because the richness and soft textures of the prawns and the risotto overwhelm a bit toward the end. Can’t wait to come back again.

The food is wonderfully prepared, presentation was perfect and the flavor of each dish was outstanding! Their cocktails are unique and well crafted. The ambiance is intimate, you can actually hear your conversations over dinner. The staff members were also incredibly friendly and attentive. This place is definitely a well rounded 5 stars!

Food and service was excellent. Intimate environment with an open kitchen/bar area. The photo is the ling cod, the best dish of the night.
