My wife and I had a too rare date night dinner last night. We chose Eventide and it was a great choice. She had a salad appetizer, the beef tenderloin, and the chocolate terrine. I ordered three appetizers - the cucumber gazpacho, bison tartare, and the squid pepperonata - with the latter two serving as my entree, and the macadamia nut tart for dessert. The dishes were well-conceived and well-prepared. The gazpacho was a wonderful summer soup with the smoked mussels providing a great contrast to cool, refreshing cucumber. My wife's steak was cooked a perfect medium rare and was tender and flavorful. The cranberry mustard on the side of the tartare was a great touch. It was like eating two different dishes depending on whether the cranberry mustard was in the bite. Terrific atmosphere in the addition to the food.
