Although the restaurant is still being finished, Chef Sousa catered a pre-show event for barebones productions, inviting us with small plates of salmon tartare and beef stew. There was also a cracker and cheese platter. The salmon was pretty good. It was a little heavily seasoned for my preferences, but the peanuts and greens really helped to balance the flavors for a wonderful dish. The beef stew was made with grass-fed beef and contained an assortment of vegetables. It was served alongside buttered, freshly baked sourdough. The stew was amazing – the beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the flavors were great. Overall, the ingredients tasted fresh and complemented each other very well. I’m excited to see what the restaurant will offer!
