I returned to a renovated Stefan's last week after his very successful
restaurant garage sale on a mission to try out his small plate menu. Small plates are a great way to sample a number of different items a chef has to offer without committing to an entire meal of it (or a large price tag). Stefan's small plate menu did not disappoint this thrifty foodie.
We started off with the Truffle Arancini with Lemon Aiol and all I can say is WOW! I could have eaten an entire plate of those tiny $3 cubes of goodness and been a happy girl but we decided to move on to some of the other dishes.
We tried these Kumamoto Oysters with Absinthe Jello and Fennel Vinaigrette ($3). They were pretty good but coming off the Arancini that practically melted in our mouths with that divine truffle oil, the oysters didn't really stand up. We also tried the hummus with grilled bread (who can really mess up hummus?) and the sweetbread schnitzel with potato salad which wasn't nearly as odd tasting as it sounds, it was actually pretty delightful. All these goodies were priced at $3 and we all left feeling satisfied, so much so that we didn't have room for dessert and I really wanted to try his lollipop trio. Remember when he made that on Top Chef? Well it is now a permanent fixture on his menu and I can't wait to taste it.
