This medium sized bowl of pasta was delivered to the table at 86 Winter with a serving of freshly grilled chicken on top and cooked (fresh) spinach distributed throughout. The creamy sauce coated the al dente pasta but did not drown it. The sauce was your typical Alfredo with a strong pepper flavor. It was a bit on the salty side, but it was delicious on the chicken. The portion size was perfect as a part of the 3 course menu – not too much of what could be an overly heavy dish. As someone who isn’t usually a fan of cream sauces, I took a chance on this and really enjoyed it – I would absolutely order it again!
Have to say I was impressed right from when the entree was set down in front of me at 86 Winter on Water Street – score high for the presentation. The filet was thinly cut and cooked to medium just as I asked. Many times when I ask for medium I get a piece of meat that is overly rare. The demi glaze was good though I really didn’t catch any of the horseradish taste in the sauce.They chose to serve the protein/filet on one dish and the 2 sides on a separate dish. I personally like that as you can savor the different tastes separately. Of course I had to try the edible flower on the plate!
