A group of us went to Tabla last night, a newish restaurant at 200 NE 28th, off East Burnside. It's one of those restaurants that serves all the small plates, so inevitably you end up paying a lot to get a satisfying meal. It was delicious. Among the four of us we had a couple of Caesar salads with a hard-boiled egg aioli and breadcrumbs, beef tartare with capers and peppers, fettucine with Dungeness crab, basil, and asparagus, Manila clams with sausage and spinach in a sweet pea broth, Painted Hills skirt steak with lentils and grapes, and seared scallops. I might go there again, but I prefer to go get one meal rather than several small plates. The space was amazing though. Nice and spacious with an open kitchen that you could check out from sitting at the bar. After dinner we headed down the block to Staccato Gelato for dessert. I got some pistachio and coffee gelato that was also very yummy!
