St. Louis part 1


Hey Becky-

Had a fabulous dinner at Cielo in St. Louis last weekend. As much as I love food... it's also really nice when the restaurant also has good service. I'll post one course a day over the next few days, starting with the Raw Bar Plate. Included three different sections, starting with three types of raw oysters with apple vinegar and cocktail sauce. The slippery oysters were salty but the lemon and vinegar cut through to the flavor. Ignored the cocktail sauce. Also, crab claws with saffron aioli (tender, cold meat). Housmade spicy tuna- large chunks of tuna soaked in spicy sauce, though the deep flavor could have been spicier. I've probably been spoiled by sushi places ;)
