I was surprisingly blown away but how good Cyrus was.
For context – I’ve been to SingleThread, Saison, and Quince all this year.
Cyrus was the best from start to finish.
Not only was it innovative, but it was also very flavorful and complex.
The dishes that stood out (which was most of them)
Black Truffle Chicken in Egg Custard. Truffles can be executed with a very high ceiling, but also can be really bland. This was exceptional and well-balanced
Foie Gras “Oreo” with Puma Orchards Apple Butter. Exactly what it sounds like. Amazing
A5 Waygu with Beef Broth. A5 is another one that can be hit or miss. Often times they don’t get the crust quite right, but this had such a lovely, flakey crust and it was perfectly cooked inside. The broth I forgot to frame in the picture but it was dark brown with such a powerful, yet elegantly balanced beef flavor. Definitely one of the best dishes I’ve had at any restaurant this year.
Nantucket Bay Sweet Scallops with Sunchoke & Mashed Potato & Black Sesame Miso
Sonoma Duck a la Four Seasons, Purple Cabbage, Freekeh
Braised Pork, Parsnip Creamed Spinach, Parmesan Miso "Gremolata" topped with White Alba Truffles.
Époisses Buñuelo, Hoshigaki, Balsamic
Apples with Brown Butter Custard and Celery Root
Not to mention, the environment/atmosphere was really cool and modern without coming off as pretentious.
You can tell the head chef really cares and wants you to have a good experience.
If you haven’t been, go! Cyrus is firing on all cylinders right now.
