Dinner at Schwa
In January, when Schwa moved to closing on the weekends and opening on Mondays instead, I managed to obtain a much longed-for reservation. Schwa, in some way, is a hidden gem of cult status sorts — those who know about it rant and rave and those who don't wonder why they never knew about the place in the first place. They're not lacking for diners though but somehow remain manageable for "those in the know". Given the dining experience at Schwa, I can't imagine any other way for them to operate — which is just about perfect.
In the interim, you can take a look at the photos I took of the 9-course tasting menu, a meal that lasted three hours.

I mentioned to my girlfriend that I wanted to go to Schwa for my birthday, and somehow she managed to swing a Thursday night reservation only 2 weeks out! We went in mid-January and had the exact same menu... except I think the hers desert was chocolate instead of the strawberry shortcake. Truly one of the most amazing meals I've even had. I think the quail egg ravioli were my favorite.
