This morning's review of Porrón and Piña in the Hartford Magazine was a well written and truthful review of this new restaurant. It received five stars! I give it the same [if not higher] after last night's meal. Since I have been a fan of Chef Tyler Anderson for a long time, I was very pleased to have been invited to dine there for an early birthday celebration.
Started with a full pour of the Spanish Rosé and then we both ordered from the Summer Prix Fixe [$35] menu. Two different Starters to share: Albondigas en Champignon which were Chorizo stuffed mushrooms and the Patas de Pato two smoked duck legs [hit the restaurant name and go to the menu descriptions as they are very helpful]. These two choices were excellent and complemented each other so well. Same entrée for both: Secreto de Cerdo a pork shoulder steak with the best Romesco Sauce ever! For dessert we again chose the same beauty: the famous Churr-Os, the chef's interpretation of the churro in a donut shape, with a combination of two dipping sauces of lemon caramel or chocolate. This was by far the best restaurant meal I have had in years.
The atmosphere is a superb, wine cave-like experience, the soft flamenco music when we arrived set the tone and the service was impeccable. This will be my place to go often!
blognote: Porrón has a small bar at the entrance to the restaurant. Piña is separate and located in the front of the building. I will try that soon.
