Tuna tartar

The tuna tartar ($12) can be enjoyed as an amuse-bouche that cleanses the palette and prepares the eager diner for the meal to follow, or as a meal in-and-of-itself for those who are looking for a lighter lunch. The house-made herbed crème fraiche and sweet cherry soy sauce play on the tongue as the tuna practically melts in your mouth. Paired with a 2007 Sineaan Gewurztraminer, at a manager’s recommendation, it’s a light and savory gastronomic experience.
