XIX

Went to XIX for another visit to enjoy some appies and drinks on the patio in the sunshine.

Had to start with the world famous (okay that might be a stretch but they are SOOOOOO GOOD) Ahi Tuna Twists.

Next up was the Pan Roasted Sriracha Octopus with Chorizo.  Our son loves anything and everything with Sriracha on it so we knew he would want to try this.  This was the first time we had tried this (and our first time trying a grilled octopus preparation).  The octopus was tender and not chewy at all.  Very good!

And then a favorite - bone marrow.  I've had it at a few places now since the last time I had it at XIX and with all my newfound experience I can easily say this is the best bone marrow I've ever had.  I didn't want it to end!  Oh and the fried oyster was very good too!!

And we tried the Gnocchi for the first time which was excellent - the gnocchi were like little pillows.

And we again very much enjoyed the pork belly in the ponzu butter sauce with a 63 degree egg.  This is one of our favorite go to dishes.

And as our last appy we enjoyed the Beef Tenderloin Tataki.  We couldn't leave without dessert though so we shared the Creme Brulee and the hot cookie with ice cream.  Delicious!  Another outstanding meal at XIX.
