with Amy
w/ Amy. Did their "Maize/Corn" tasting menu. The main entree was duck, which I don't think we finished. It's not my favorite and I don't think it was cooked all that well. Good: Cacio e Pepe (just barely). Whatever: Sourdough bread & accoutrements (I think just honey and some hummus spread). Ordered a Cornstar Martini, which is funny, but was gin and corn, so awful. Also ordered an Elotero, which was made with mezcal and cheese rind. I don't remember what it tasted like.
3 Cacio e Pepe (just barely)
2 Sourdough bread & accoutrements (I think just honey and some hummus spread)

with Amy, Max
w/ Max, Amy. Ordered the tasting menu. Server said that the tasting menu would be significantly different than the dishes available on menu. That was untrue. Maybe only 1-2 courses were off menu. Tasting menu was not reflective of items I'd order. Said we could not add dishes on top of tasting (we've done this before). Said we could supplement desserts but was never given opportunity. A lot of this rating has to do with poor table server, although service was seemingly by committee. Very Good: Watermelon-lime sorbet (dessert). Good: Texas Wagyu Denver ($57). Whatever: High Tea Pate and what-not (off-menu), Red Snapper Crudo, Wagyu Tartare, Johnny Cake w/ tea/soup (off-menu), Red Drink (off-menu), Bread & Accoutrements. Not Good: Strozapreti
4 Watermelon-lime sorbet (dessert)
