Restaurant recommendation!

A few days ago my husband celebrated a Very Important Birthday so I took him out to dinner at Serevan, a middle-eastern/mediterranean restaurant in Amenia. It's been there for years but we've never been, perhaps because of an unfortunate experience we had in the restaurant that occupied the building previously. (Think: pregnant woman, hot night, lots of flies, food that was a little...off....) This time we had one of the best meals we've had in years! Just to give you an idea, we had:

Poached Shrimp and East Coast Oysters, Frisee
and Celery-Cumin Emulsion

Rack of Lamb, Herbed Labne, Madjoul dates, Dried Limes and Persian Style Basmati

Chicken Bastillia with Orange-Curry Emulsion, Wilted Romaine
and Cinnamon Caramel

The wine isn't on their website - it was a Loire valley red, earthy but light.

Are you hungry yet?
