A snap shot of our 5 hour dinner Feast: herb crusted rack of lamb w/ port; “lambsagna” of lamb shank, goat cheese, broccoli rabe, preserved lemon; our lovely waitress also brought us the seared sea scallop w/ pork belly, ramp slaw & rhubarb. Add to that a table of 7 magnificent folks & you’ve got a fine evening indeed. I love how food brings people together.  (at Feast)
