Ambitious new restaurant on University Avenue (between MLK and Milvia) in Berkeley started with a complimentary amuse-bouche. And that was only the beginning of it!

I am putting the eVe dining experience among the ranks of O Chame and Lois the Pie Queen -- awesome food made even better by the great people running/working the place.

Amuse Bouche

Roasted beet, mascarpone, Champagne foam.

Notes: This reminded me of the beet and horseradish foam amuse I had at Bouley. Except, this was better executed.

The champagne foam had fizzled out by before I could get a stable shot. Sorry. Just imagine a frothy top to this gorgeous amuse.

This was basically a borscht gone uptown. Under the frothy dome are dices of red beets suspended in a jelly-like substance layered on top of luscious mascarpone. The flavor of the beets and accompanying jelly was rather mellow (not muddy at all), countered by creamy and slightly tangy mascarpone cheese. The champage foam added just a bit of yeasty dryness that was not unwelcomed (it's later to show up on one of my dishes as well).

The only note I make is that the beets weren't as silky as I would have liked them... just a tad more al dente than I would have preferred. I was expecting silky. Instead, I got meaty.

Got a chance to watch AMUSE hook up the HotBox Mobil Galleria

Amuse

Parsnip Soup with Shrimp

Note: Pleasant but nothing special.

This was the amuse bite the night we were at The Aviary. The cube is compressed watermelon, which is topped with yuzu (the whiteish stuff in the middle), soy (brown stuff) and herbs. (Peter, if you remember better than I do feel free to correct me.)

I think this included cucumber and avocado.
