Evan's American Gourmet Café

Frommer's Review

This restaurant's impeccable service, award-winning wine list, and unyielding attention to detail serve as a perfect backdrop for the creative culinary artistry of Chef Jake Hurm. The philosophy here is to use only the finest, freshest ingredients and not overwhelm them with heavy sauces or over-stylized culinary technique. The cuisine is an original blend of styles from around the world, with each dish being an artistic creation. For appetizers, typical choices are grilled prawns over savory bread pudding with tomato beurre blanc and fried leeks, or seared foie gras with pineapple and golden raisin compote, crispy shallot rings and port wine reduction. Entrees might include breast and confit leg of duck with dried cherry sauce, jasmine rice pilaf with wheat berries, edamame and roast pearl onions, or roast venison loin on pecan and root vegetable hash, served with creamed chard and blackberry-port wine reduction. If you have room, the desserts are luscious and beautiful. Seats are limited in this cozy little restaurant so be sure to call ahead for reservations.
