Dinner starts with savory snacks and cocktail pairings in a small bar and continues in a 24-seat dining room with booths and a counter overlooking an open kitchen with a wood-burning hearth.Ī recent standout was Mary's Duck - dry-aged for seven days and served with roasted baby beets, pickled green apple, crispy beet root, and finished with a beet reduction. Courses are listed simply - "spot prawn," "squash," "venison" - but convey so much more. The menu spans 21 courses, costs $185 per person (not including wine pairings), and leaves plenty to the imagination. I wish the cashier wasn’t checking my friend and I out but I mean, we are all human and have those animal instincts.Scratch | Bar & Kitchen is the Valley’s most ambitious restaurant, an impressive tasting experience from Top Chef Season 13 competitor Phillip Frankland Lee and pastry chef/wife Margarita Kallas-Lee that’s part of a three-concept compound on Encino Place’s second floor. By the looks of it though they’re alright. Customer service was basic, I didn’t really need anything from them since I got my food to go. I wish the whole aspect of this place was better to be honest. I paid about $ 10 for this, WITHOUT my drink… (Brought that from home) But yeah, the fish is super decent. I had to order another small cucumber roll ( 6pcs) cause ya girl is a hungry one. I ordered a salmon lover special which was a salmon roll ( 4pcs) salmon sashimi ( 4pcs) and a salmon hand roll. Anywhoooooo, I was checking out the menu and price range and it’s alright if you’re in the market for a good $ 8 plate with 2 different menu items. Don’t get me wrong, I know we Californians are in the struggle but DAMN, AC is needed when you’re serving sushi. Like, I walk in expecting a ice cold restaurant but instead I walk into this place which was at room-temperature.
This place is what I like to call « MAD DECENT «. Its really not bad… For that person… since everything is based off a California Roll, Spicy Tuna, or Spicy Salmon… There is definitely a finite number of combinations you can work with in this case and it definitely fits those who do know and those who don’t… and for those who think all Asian based restaurants serve Dog and Cat (No Joke… I was told this by a seasoned traveler from Poland)… This Place does have chicken and beef and Udon… So definitely something for everyone to eat… I ordered 1 California Roll, 1Tempura Shrimp Roll and a 3 Item cooked combo of Terriyaki Chicken, Tempura, and Spicy Tuna Roll… It also came with a Salad, Soup, and Rice… Everything to make someone happy… Overall… the food is good and its very affordable… definitely not a place to score points on a first date… but if your looking for a quick fix… or a hit and run… THIS IS IT!!! So the bottom line is all good… If you normally order these items… You will be happy… Just remember what you paid for it and… Its not Hiroyuki Urasawa of Urasawa’s in Beverly Hills… Its Juan Martinez of Sushi Boy in Irvine making your Sushi… And if you come across the two know-it-all’s from Poland… RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!! They know everything about anything… :) If you are dining with someone who says something like… «I love sushi… but I hate raw fish…» or someone who thinks of fine dining being a 3 course meal consisting of a Cup of Noodles, a Frozen Bean Burrito, and a Pack of Hostess Ding Dongs after a trip back from the local dispensary… THIS MAY BE YOUR PLACE.
