Tasting Menu at Clio - Part 1







1. Arugula Almond Pastry with Olive Oil Gel and Chive Blossom





This amuse bouche tasted a little Asian-inspired. A savory pastry - it was good but not amazing.




2. Tomato Water Martini with Caper Berry, Tom Olive and Basil Oil




This was the highlight of the whole meal! Imagine juices from a tomato strained to clear and add basil oil emulsion. It tastes like tomato and basil but in liquid form. Impressive.

















3. Albacore Tuna Sashimi with Chives
Having just had the Uni sashimi platter, this was more of the same. Still very nice though.











4. Winterpoint Oysters with hisbiscus Jus

The oysters look like they are going to tip over any second and tip over they did. One of my oysters fell off as it came to the table. The hisbiscus jus had a nice vinegary flavor but I thought it masked the subtle taste of the oyster a little.
