content: Party of 9 adults and one 5 year old who is picky just like me...\nNo pasta tasting menu or traditional tasting menu\nService: I would have expected even better service since I had the most fabulous service at Del Posto in NYC\n\nBeverages: the boys had cocktails; dad ordered a bottle of expensive wine (can't really remember...was totally distracted with trying to decide what to order off the menu...I would have been fine with water!)\n\nStarter: Ordered pretty much every single appetizer on the menu to share - everything was \""good\"" but nothing really blew me away.  For $24 heirloom tomatoes salad, $21 a plate for buffalo mozzarela and $14 a plate for beet salad,  I would expect all these dishes to be amazing, but in the end, they were just dressed up salads.    \n\nPasta Course: We order six diff pastas to share.  We had to have \""refills\"" on two of them  because it was THAT GOOD - 1) beef cheek ravioli with black truffles and crushed duck liver and 2) Bolognese pappardelle.  I LOVE pasta and I am extremely picky when it comes to pasta (maybe it's the Asian in me...from the school of Marco Polo brought pasta back to western world from China...LOL)  I must say, these two dishes were flavorful, unique and what a delight to taste something like the bolognese kicked up 100 notches at B&B.  The wild boar ragu was alright, did not \""wow\"" me.  The clam linguine was poor at best - TOO spicy, nothing special, and not flavorful aside from the dramatic heat - it was disappointing. \n\nEntrees: We each ordered an entree and pretty much everyone ordered something different.  I was honored to eat off of everyone's plate.  \n\nI ordered the rabbit.  The Rabbit was AMAZING.  It was done a few different ways - braised, confit, deep fried leg, and pan seared.  It was flavorful, tender, juicy, and well seasoned.  It had a wonderful balance of flavors - gentle but with a punch.  (my second choice for entree would have been the sweetbreads)\n\nBBQ skirt steak - it was just ok.  It wasn't excellent, it wasn't bad, it was just middle of the road.  Not my favorite cut to begin with, but most of all, it seemed to have been marinated with a lot of salt...too salty for me.\n\nWhole grilled Branzino was quite good.  The fish is very mild and the dish was well seasoned overall.  I love whole fish (once again the Asian in me) - makes the meat so much more juicy.  \n\nGrilled rib eye was shared between two sisters.  I liked the rib eye a lot albeit I only had two little bites.  I mean, it's hard to go wrong with a rib eye, but hey, you'd be surprised...\n\nDessert: ordered several to share with everyone at the table.  Nothing totally memorable.  The small bites biscuit/cookies they brought out with our coffee were even better than the desserts we ordered (very similar experience at Del Posto...)\n\nI love Mr. Batali and have so much respect for him.  I love the two pasta dishes mentioned above and the rabbit and branzino were truly delightful.  I will definitely come back, throw money at this place and try the tasting menu next time I am in town...
