Anella, Greenpoint

(Photo from NYTimes. The one on my phone didn't do it justice!)

We went to Anella for our anniversary and it didn't disappoint. It's kind of a trip out there - off the Greenpoint stop on the G train - but I'd say it's worth it for a specialish occasion or if you have money in the eating out budget.

Oliver jumped right into the bread in the flowerpot. The menu rotates but here's what we loved:

- Appetizer of King Oyster Mushroom, Smoked Bacon, Sunnyside Egg (for him) and scallop/sweet potato ceviche for her. Delicious.

- The Chatham Cod, Coco Beans, Roasted Tomato, Sherry Vinegar entree was delicious and tasted like fall. Oliver had a pork chop which was good, but I don't think he liked it quite like I loved the cod.

We were so full, but we couldn't pass up the Almond Date Cigars (dates wrapped in phillo dough) with Honey Whipped Cream for dessert. It was a feast.
