Prime Rib @ Torrisi Italian Specialties

Part of a US$50 per person set dinner menu. The prime rib is a US$40 addition (not per person, for the dish, which is enough for two).

So apparently starting Dec. 1, they started taking reservations for an even fancier tasting menu (US$125 per person). When I went, there was only this prix fixe, and you had to show up before 5:30 p.m. to get on their night's guest list. There was a line of about 10 people by 5:30 the day I went.

It's a very interesting menu, with some dishes that I've not had before. I don't have them all pictured here because it was super dark there and some of the pictures turned out unusable. One of the dishes not pictured was a duck offal salad with plum sauce that was unusual and unusually good.

The meal didn't really bring a smile for some reason, however, despite several memorable dishes. It almost seemed too intellectual in a sense, such as the appetizer with the different kinds of super fresh radishes with a special handmade butter. It also didn't help that the big extra-cost item, the prime rib, was a major disappointment. It was too charred and it was tough.
