Perello

We went to Melissa Perillo's Monday night four-courser at Sebo (have not tried Sebo yet).

Perello was the chef at 5th Floor and now takes over the kitchen on occasional Mondays.

The food was excellent and will change each time she cooks. However, I think the concept: soup, seafood, meat, dessert with optional wine to go with it will stay.

They put sea salt on top of the butter to go with the bread which was a nice little touch. The crackery-flatbread they had reminded us of pappadam a bit.

The soup was not the highlight for me, it was a nice way to start the meal. Nothing memorable though.

The skate was an excellent combination of flavors, but the highlight was the coq au vin which came with a little crepe filled with additional delights.

The dessert was a ricotta tarte.

The wine list had some great choices on it. GIven the coq au vin, I chose a pinot which complimented most of the dishes.

Absolutely well worth making a reservation next time she does this (get on her e-mail list).
