Finally gotten a chance to try out a'Bouzy (pronounced: a-boozy)
a champagne bar with innovative food, really.
You sit down, and they bring you this bag...
Turns out, there's popcorn with truffle oil... not too much to be overpowering, just good enough for taste and not too much and not too oily.
Pomme Frites - cooked in duck fat and you dip in aioli - super yummy.
This is the Black Label Jambon Iberico, which is a fancy way of saying in-house cured ham slices, which a prosciutto thin, with garlic toasts and pickle with mustard. The combo is very nice. I'm not typically a mustard person, but with the ham, you put a tad of mustard on it, it works out very nicely.
This is a Yelp pick: I saw it alot of Yelp, and figured to give it a shot. This is Tuna Watermelon Sashimi. The slices are indeed that tiny. And to top it off, they put a bit of soy sauce caviar and the green stuff is avocado mousse. The combo together reminded me of a code pesto. Not bad, refreshing for the coming warm days.
Last but not least, I got the baked oysters. Besides the oyster that is baked. There is also chopped tomato, onions, pesto, bacon, cheese on top of the rock salt. This is actually very delicious. It definitely is one of my favorite oysters. It's not heavy like the Carpetbagger at B&B, but light enough for happy hour. Goes down nice and easy.
Also, we love the decor, it's nice and classy. I would definitely get a reservation, even for weekdays. It's just guarantee that you'll have a table. The valet is at drive thru side of the building, not at the parking lot side of the building. Street parking is not easy to find, but I was there early enough. Or if you come after the happy hour time (say around 7pm) there'll be street parking opening up.
Oh! If you order a bottle of champagne, the servers will all come by and yell a'Bouzy. That's cool the first couple of times. After that, it's just ... well, that. Try it!
