The pork belly was overdone and dry. The egg yolk did help improve the disappointing texture of the pork, but it could only do so much. The tomato jam added a little bit of spice, but it wasn’t enough to save the BLT as the brioche, and watercress espuma added nothing to the generally weak and overdone dish.

*NEW* Deconstructed French Onion Soup: Beef Broth Ravioli, Gruyere Espuma, Onion Bread Pudding and Onion Textures – $6.50

 A strange idea that played out as the weakest dish here. The flavors are too intense, too rich, very pungent. It’s basically a giant ravioli in French onion soup broth.

*NEW* Deconstructed Key Lime Pie: Flexible Key Lime Curd, “Key Lime” Mousse, Graham Cracker Cake and Meringues – $6.25

This was top tier. A perfect balance of tart and sweetness, and the presentation allows you to distribute ingredients as you wish. The cake is moist and flavorful, a highlight for us. You get a nice serving size, and it also takes a great photo.

*NEW* Deconstructed Apple Pie à la Mode: Apple-Cinnamon Gelato, Cinnamon Apple Cider, Apple Pie Filling and Streusel (Non-Alcoholic) – $4.75

As you would guess, this has a prevalent apple flavor. The streusel nicely counters the sweetness with cinnamon. The bottom layer of filling doesn’t distribute when you sip, so grab a spoon to eat the cream and apple chunks. The cup is a nice touch.

*NEW* Short’s Brewing Bellaire Brown Ale, Bellaire, MI (7.0% ABV) – $5.00 for 6 oz., $9.00 for 12 oz.

From Short’s Brewing Company: “A glass of Bellaire Brown will greet you with big notes of chocolate, toasted malt, caramel, and coffee. It is equally full bodied and easy on the palate, dry and unfussy.”
