Anyone been to the new La Cachette Bistro? If so...good or no bueno?
funny. I was there last night as well! We were inside though. It started on a bad note when we sent back our bottle of 1997 Pauillac because it tasted like vinegar and mold. And when we asked questions about other wines our waiter didn't seem to know anything so we took matters into our own hands and choose another bottle, which, thankfully was a simple good bottle of Bordeaux.
onto the food...
we both order the fresh Hawaiian hearts of palm salad. No bueno. It was bland and dressed in a heavy flavorless mustard sauce. BUT then our main course came. The portions we very small for the price. My husband had the duck breast, which was a bit over cooked but he was happy with the taste and I had the buffalo short ribs which were truly DIVINE. It was swimming in a coffee and cabernet sauce and the meat was very flavorful and tender and melted in my mouth. I would go back just for that dish. We didn't have dessert just a hefty bill.
They still seem to be figuring it out so I would wait about a month to go back for another go...

Local, pastured, humanely-raised eggs, chicken and milk
I m an avid SM FM shopper and I have found that 'Healthy Family Farms' organic eggs (they also have chicken but I haven't tried it) are the best. I know they are at the saturday mkt in sm and sunday mkt in venice and bh. You can join their CSA and get discounts and pre-order lamb, duck, beef, pork, goat milk, etc. -- healthyfamilyfarms@gmail.com
