This sweet potato ice cream had a beautiful color and it tasted great. I loved the crunchy and soft accompaniments, and everything worked so well together.

Pineapple & Pearls, Washington DC
This was a fun and tasty intermezzo. I liked that it wasn’t too sweet and the presentation was cute. The fizz from the soda was also nice to help cleanse the palate.
I forget what was in this tiny bite that was present after the lamb course. I remember that I didn’t much care for the brown stuff though, lol!

This was one of my favorite moments of the meal. I loved it when they scraped the warm, melted cheese onto the sweet potato brioche. And it tasted wonderful!

These side dishes came with the Potter’s clay baked lamb, and they were delicious! This was so much food already even after all the previous dishes. I especially loved the basmati rice since it was so flavorful.

Sadly, I don’t really remember much about this lamb except that they explained ad nauseam. I appreciated the description, but quickly forgot everything once I began eating. I do remember that the lamb was really tender and very flavorful.

Mmm, this soup was fancy and comforting. I loved the pea flavor with the smoky ham. And the pea shoots were nice and fresh.

This dish was SO good and fun to eat. The octopus tentacle was filled with what I think I remember as a chorizo stuffing. The tentacle was a bit on the chewy side, but the flavors were great and I loved creativity and presentation.

This nibble was SO small that it was kinda comical that it came out on such a comparatively large glass platter. I guess it was tasty enough, but there wasn’t much of it to really grasp onto. Kinda left you hanging…
