Aimless in a world of $18 cocktails and single batch crap

At the risk of drawing the ire of the more knowledgeable for straying outside my lane (advanced apologies to @Chik and @verticaldoug), there's a kaiseki place in MSP. We almost went there earlier this February and would probably go if we were to relocate to MSP. There's also an affiliated sushi restaurant by the same chef, Kado no Mise. Looks like the type of places actually worth the money.

Good to know. This might be a worthwhile place for a celebration in the future.

The next one up was in a fancy-ish place in Covent Gardens, London. No gremolata presented, but at least the meat was tender and I think there was saffron used in the risotto. Though with the price charged, one certainly knew one was in London.

Wasn't Bancone, was it?

No, it was Margot.

My dad was with us, and we wanted to show him what we consider to be the best Italian meat-based dish. This was one of the few that had it. At least the meat wasn’t stringy and tough. I didn’t try any of the cocktails, but it starts at 15 quids here.

You might be wondering why i didn’t pick a place serving British fare, and the answer is that neither my wife nor my dad likes a Beef Wellington, but for different reasons.

Nah, no judgment from me. There's no reason to limit oneself based on what others think. (I did like Bancone and would recommend it to anyone looking for good pasta in Covent Garden.)
