Sashimi Platter at O Kitchen

Whenever I go to O Kitchen I feel like I am visiting old friends. Well, the friends that I would really like to meet: artistic foodies that can hold a decent conversation while juggling knives. This is a place I have visited extensively and so I will let the photos tell the story.

The menu during my last visit was:
/An Assorted Sashimi Platter that included Sea squirt, halibut, mackerel, snapper and more
/A Polenta Cake with soft boiled quail egg
/Persimmon Sorbet
/A Pastrami cold plate with garden grown carrots
/Seafood Pasta with Ugly Ravioli
/Chicken Four Ways
/Fish Four Ways
/Dessert Platter that included Persimmon Pie, Beet dessert topped with Gorgonzola Ice Cream and Chocolate Souffle with mint cream
/Coffee
