UBUNTU Revisited. . .

Simple and sweet.... I don't think I accurately reflected my thoughts in my last post about ubuntu.  I thought it was absolutley amazing.  It was truly an eye opening culinary experience.  So this Friday I went back to Jeremy Fox's napa restaurant with some family and friends.  I was absolutely floored by the food we enjoyed.  
Just to mention a few:
Marcona Almonds with Lavender Sugar and Sea Salt
Sweet Peas with pea shell consomme, mint oil, macadamia nuts and white chocolate with pea sprouts
Deep Fried Egg (with soft yolk?!) with fingerling potato quennelles and black garlic coulis
Strawberry Sofrito Pizza with burranta cheese. 
And a new version of the noried goat cheese with radish and black sea salt

All of these dishes were incredible as were the others we enjoyed.  As of right now Ubuntu is my favorite restaurant in the bay area and the most unique and enjoyable dining experience I've ever had.  Please go eat there, it will improve your life.
