Day One of Restaurant Week started the event with a bang. We came here for lunch, and it was great. And at the unbelievably low price of $20.14 for three courses, you can't go wrong!\n\nFor our appetizers, my husband and I each had the fennel three ways (fennel cream with smoked salmon, fennel arancini [stuffed rice balls], and fennel-orange salad). This was my favorite course of the day. Each item was delicious, but the fennel cream was the standout: smooth and rich, with just a hint of the fennel. \n\nFor the entrees, my husband had the short rib tagliatelle, and I had the rainbow trout. A perfect lunch-sized portion of the fish, and it was flavored well, although there wasn't much of a side dish to speak of. And although I usually don't like short ribs, I had a bite of the tagliatelle, and it was great. My husband (a short rib fan) was super impressed; if he could have licked that bowl clean, he probably would have.\n\nThe desserts weren't as successful, but we're not really dessert people, so that's OK. I had a trio of melon sorbets, and he had the white raspberry dessert.\n\nWe opted for the suggested wine pairings, which were $7 a glass. Ros\u00e9 and zinfandel for me; pinot grigio and zinfandel for him. So the whole meal, with tip, was $90. A bit pricey for lunch, but totally worth it. \n\nOur waiter was a bit of a low talker, and we weren't impressed with the desserts. But everything else about DB Brasserie is top notch. Definitely come for Restaurant Week! And I'm sure it's just as good other times of the year as well...
