We go kosher!

We went to Solo with friends last night. It's a highly rated glatt-kosher restaurant. Having grown up with the occasional kosher restaurant (mostly a deli or dairy) I was somewhat skeptical. But, the quality of food at Solo was wonderful. The only way I could tell it was kosher was from the selection of foods - not the preparation. Of course we missed cheese and butter and cream but the dishes we had were wonderful.

I had porcini mushroom soup and a roasted veal chop - both excellent. Chris had a bibb lettuce salad with heirloom tomatoes and grilled Halibut on a bed of zucchini and a side of broccoli rabe. We were good and declined dessert. The wine was a kosher cabernet sauvignon.
