I had a very enjoyable dinner here tonight.
First of all, the space is cool. It is an industrial space with exposed ductwork, heavy-duty hanging lamps, pipes along the walls and a kitchen enclosed with large metal-framed industrial windows. In contrast, there are antique-looking sideboards and china cabinets as well as white tablecloths and delicate flowers on every table. In the back is a room with big comfy chairs, a jukebox and bookshelves with books. Down the stairs in the back on your way to the restroom you'll find a foosball table. This must be to make the folks who work at the Google offices nearby feel at home.
Before dinner, the waiter brought a paper bag with mixed sliced bread.
By the glass, they served a Zurich AOC Pinot noir. I didn't know they made wine in Zurich.
For my appetizer, I had a delicious almond garlic soup with scallops.
For the entree, I had Lake Zurich Felchen filet with a tomato crust, on potato flan, with a butter sauce. Forget about a light flaky whitefish, this was one of the richest fish dinners I think I have ever had. Fortunately, scientists don't think fat is bad for you anymore.
The waiter was excellent -- attentive, friendly, and helpful. They gave me the password for wifi and I worked while I ate. read more
