Last weekend we headed over to Bar Agricole for dinner. After Michael Bauer's Top New Restaurants of 2010 article came out, I made reservations at a few of the places he mentioned that we hadn't tried, and Bar Agricole was one of them.
Our waiter told us that the concept of the restaurant is that all the dishes are served in the center of the table to share, and for four people we should order five to seven dishes. Done.
Because this was last week, and because the online menu has changed since then, and because I was lazy and didn't write down what we ate, I can't exactly remember what we ate. I'll try my best.
This was the crab salad with farro. It had a really light, flavorful dressing and lately I've been really into farro lately so I was happy.
This was an artichoke and arugula salad. We're so predictable, always going for the arugula pick. We liked this one as well, it also had a nicely balanced dressing.
Check out this poached egg with beans. Egg was perfectly cooked and we liked the beans but this dish wasn't outstanding.
This was the pork and fennel sausage with roasted potatoes. We all really liked this one, nice texture and flavor.
We ordered one more dish, a guinea hen - which we liked - and passed on dessert. I wish I had more to say about this place but as I mentioned, we shared each of these dishes between four people so we only got a bite or two of each one. What we tried all tasted good, but there just wasn't enough. I'm all for smaller portions, but not when divided by four people.
The environment is really cool and the outside space looks amazing, but I think if I were to come back I'd make sure to go with only one other person.
