After being sat it was at least 10 minutes before someone greeted us at the table. We ordered the tasting menu with wine pairing. We waited a while, and no wine showed up. Had to flag down someone to ask about that. I said, if it's going to be a while we can start with a cocktail. She confirmed we had plenty of time to enjoy a cocktail before the first round of food and wine pairing arrived. So cocktails in hand, we took our first sip, and then the waiter came out with our first course. Very poor timing. They forgot to bring our first tasting of wine. We had to flag someone down for that too. Once we got rolling their timing and coursing got better. The food was delicious. The wine pairings were perfect. The room was really hot and I'm normally chilly. Over all it was as lovely meal in a unique atmosphere with nice people and a talented chef. I'd go back for sure!

5th Annual Young Chefs Dinner. Attended last night. If these are the talented cooks behind the head chefs around Traverse City, we really have a bright culinary future ahead. Warmly welcomed on the front porch by owner Blakeslee. Love the intimate feel of the house. Seating only about 25 people. Last night we had cocktails by Katie Asher of Cooks' House, then a Beet & Eggplant with Tabbouleh appetizer from Christian Geoghegan/Alliance. We had a wonderful asparagus dish containing buckwheat, roe, crispy trout skin and dashi by Michael Evans/Gaijin. The Main course stole the show for me, well that, and the dessert, but I'll get to that later. Ryan Corbin/Cooks' House, gave us seared scallops with wild rice, pancetta, pickled asparagus, fried shallots & toum. They melted in your mouth! PERFECTLY cooked. Thin crisp sear and perfectly cooked middles on those scallops - DELICIOUS. The next course was a Rabbit & Smoked Beet Salad by Emily Kuck/Mission Table. It was much more than a salad. Sweet smokey beets, rabbit confi, and a smear of pungent blue cheese balanced it out perfectly with the delicate greens. Wonderful. To top it off we were given Uova Da Raviolo by Elise Cutris/Trattoria Stella. OMG.....pineapple pasta, citrus whipped ricotta & mango curd filling...honey....brown butter....just the right seasoning. What more could you ask for?! To be honest, I usually am the one ordering chocolate something for dessert, but I have to admit - this was equally as satisfying. Highly recommend the Young Chefs series. Highly recommend Cooks' House. What a special place and what a great event.
