Lisa's birthday dinner at Restaurant Martín in Santa Fe.

We went out to dinner tonight at Restaurant Martín in Santa Fe tonight to celebrate Lisa's birthday a couple of days early. Restaurant Martín is one of the hot restaurants in Santa Fe these days. Here are a few low-Rez pix:

Texas Goat Cheese Salad
Carpaccio of Roasted Beets, Calamata Olives, Asparagus, Frisée, Black Truffle Savayon

Berkshire Pork Belly
Porcini-Garlic Flan, Pea Tendrils, Sweet Corn Kernels, Grape Onions, Xerez Sherry Vinegar

Crispy Skin Sea Bass
English Peas, King Trumpet Mushrooms, Daikon Radish, Crab-Miso Broth, Baby Dill Aioli

Maine Diver Sea Scallops
Yukon Potato-Shallot Purée, Heirloom Grape Tomatoes, Wild Mushrooms, Chorizo, Tarragon

The sea bass was the best thing we had, but it was all good. We also had a sampler of three different kinds of creme brûlée, but the light was so poor by that time that we couldn't get an acceptable shot.

For wine, we had:

With our meal: Caymus Conundrum, Napa
Flavors of apricot, honeysuckle, melon and tangerine with round, lush texture and balanced acidity.

With dessert: Inniskillin Sparkling Vidal Icewine, Niagra
