Restaurant Week --- Part VI

Today's lunch was at Sepia. $20.

to start:

english pea soup, ricotta, mint

For this appetizer, I estimated 3 points for one cup of soup and 1.5 points for an 1/8 cup of ricotta cheese for a total of 4.5 points.

I did learn that if you share your English Pea Soup, there's a pretty good chance your lunchmates will share some of THEIR starter.

to start

flatbread: pepper and onion confit, goat cheese, marjoram

I think that Sepia is known for their flatbread. It was really good. I gave it 2 points.

entree

pork cutlet milanese with arugula, parmigiano and lemon

This is basically a fancy breaded pork tenderloin, but really really good. I liked that the lemon on top was actual bits of citrus, rather than just a squeeze. Unfortunately, pork + fried goodness = high points: 16. Yeouch.

sweets

vanilla parfait, hazelnut crust, chocolate-orange sauce

This was delightful. Basically an ice cream sundae in a fancy-pants presentation. I gave 1.5 points for the ice cream and 1 points for the hazelnuts. (I didn't eat the whole thing. The pork had more than filled me up!)

So, I'm off to the gym tonight and not eating dinner....but this lunch was worth it!
