we had the pleasure of dining at aloe on thursday evening, and the food was outstanding. we literally scraped every plate clean. we had two appetizers, the blue cheese beneigt salad and the confited duck breast, both of which were fantastic, my favorite being the duck. i think i've had every part of the duck confited except the breast, which is amazing prepared that way. the beneigts were very good too. for our entree we split the chicken three way, and the wing part of the dish went immaculately with our wine (pouilley fousse chard). the breast was perfectly moist and any good cook knows grilling chicken breasts perfectly is one of the hardest tasks to accomplish on a menu. and finally we had the smores housemade cheese cake for dessert, inF--kingcredible! the service is impeccable, being a one woman show, the house manager was acting server as well that night. she was thouroughly educated about both the menu and the wine list which, i believe to be the most important part of service. anyway, all in all i will definitly go back, and anyone living within the vicinity of the restaurant should make it their new local haunt. while dining the chef mentioned they might be adding a small plate menu soon! i'll be back.
