On December 11th, we ran a special prix-fixe menu featuring game--because it's hunting season, and we're stuck here in the city. It was a delicious tour of the fields--or, as we took to calling it among ourselves, a dinner of bunny, bambi, and bird. 

We started with a rabbit terrine, layered with shiitake mushrooms and served with a bright parsley sauce and sharp house mustard.

Next up, venison sausage with acorn flour gnocchi, sunchokes, and sage.

Then we served dry-aged squab with rosehip jelly, tarragon "sponge", and salsify. 

Dessert was walnut oil cake with wild cranberry sorbet and lemon thyme.
