Thanks for the update! I just love following you here on this thread. It's fantastic!

We're skipping CG in July but we'll be there again in December. Yum!

Beautiful review of CG! Thanks for sharing.

Question: How much was the Omakase meal for 2? I didn't know CG could do this -- never saw it on the menu before. I know you were on TIW, but any idea on the OOP cost for this option?

Thanks again!

...is not actually on the menu - I asked about it (having read about it in one of Anthony Bourdain's books awhile ago) - and they "came up with something". At the time, I was on the DDP, and they basically charged the same price as the filet (now $44), and populated the plate with Yoshe's choice of sushi. As with any variation on the menu, your best bet is to describe what you want to your server and work with him / her on it.

All I can say is ....WOW...

Your pictures are gorgeous and your review is perfect timing for me, we are eating at the Cali Grill for the first time on June 4th!

Your three appies are exactly what I wanted to order, how the heck am I going to choose? Oh well I guess DH and I are going to have to eat all three and just share.

Thanks for the tip on the flatbread...maybe we will order one of those too!

That black walnut cheesecake looks soooo good!

Oh my goodness, that maine lobster risotto looks amazing!

I'll be at CG on Jun 1st (keeping my fingers crossed the oven *might* be fixed a touch early) and my initial plan was sushi, first course and dessert. I was pretty much set on:

Shrimp Tempura Roll
Spicy Kazan Roll
Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli

but that risotto is giving the goat cheese ravioli a run for its money!!
