Supperclub at the Wine Vault

Since the holidays are usually so hectic, we decided to have dinner out for supper club this month.


We met up at the Wine Vault & Bistro for their prix fixe 3-course dinner for $20. They offer this on friday and saturday nights. There is also an add on for the wine pairings.  So many choices.
Here is a sampling of the food we ordered.
Local beets, pepita puree, bourbon sherry, whipped goat cheese, and micro beet greens
Warm puntarella salad, yellowfoot mushrooms, bacon, slow poached egg, fennel pollen, bay leaf nage, and saba
Seared colorado lamb carpaccio, currants, charred cucumber, vandouvan, chervil, smoked yogurt, and bread tuile
Sous vide tri tip, potato cake, "creamed" spinach, black trumpet mushroom, and rosemary jus
Braised short ribs, marble potato hash, celery root + espresso puree, charred celery, and preserved lemon
Roasted shelton farms chicken breat, grit cake, chanterelle puree, bacon jam, braised greens, and mushroom jus
Three housemade valrhona chocolate truffles
Fall sorbet tasting: blood orange w/candied zest, meyer lemon w/honey espuma, and pomegranate w/pistachio shortbread
Espresso + cream: mousse crumble, vanilla ice cream, cocoa nib coulis, and caramel powder


It was a lovely dinner.  The food was delicious but our consensus was that there could have been more of it.
