MENU Ramiro Velasquez, Chef de Cuisine Special Thanks to Guest of Honor Jean-Jacques Fertal, President of Eagle Eye Imports, for Hand-Selecting These Special French Wines for Our Dinner Chef’s Selection of Passed Hors D’ Oeuvres Sparnacus NV Epernay, AOC Champagne Seafood Terrine with Wild Mushrooms, Vegetable Salad and a Curry Cream Sauce Joseph Mellot La Chatellenie, AOC Sancerre ‘08 Grilled Rib Eye with Phyllo and Mushroom Purse, Basil Mashed Potatoes and a Cabernet-Chocolate Reduction Diamant des Karantes AOC Coteaux du Languedoc- La Clape ‘05 Chef’s Selection of Cheese with Toasted Nut Bread and Dried Fruits Château Cantenae A.O.C. Saint-Emilion Grand Cru ‘06 Symphony of Desserts Crème Brulée Fruit Tart Chocolate Pyramid Château les Roques, AOC Loupiac Bordeaux ‘99 Zagat Top Food Rating 29/30 A “memorable evening” awaits visitors to this 26-year-old North Shore “treasure”, a “fine-dining” “temple on Temple Ave” that’s ranked No. 1 for Food among Chicagoland restaurants on the strength of its “superb”, “very creative” new French fare, which is accompanied by a “fantastic wine list” and served by a “staff that knows when to be friendly and when to be reserved”; the feel is “formal yet extremely comfortable, with cozy booths and soft lighting”, making it a “great celebration place”—“if you can afford it’; jackets required for gentlemen. Zagat Chicago Restaurants 2007/08Long the finest dining destination north of Evanston, Carlos and Debbie Nieto’s elegant and tiny restaurant reigns supreme on the North Shore. Grounded in French and Italian technique, chef Ramiro Velasquez’s food is seriously “haute,” opulently sauced, and sometimes baroque in its intricate presentations. —Chicago magazine Chica Gourmets!
