Wherewithall - Johnny Clark and Beverly Kim's followup

Phil Vettel just offered an outstanding review of Wherewithall, Johnny Clark and Beverly Kim's follow up to Parachute.

Although they opened in early summer, we went a few weeks ago. We were prepared for the prix fixe of $65 for 4 courses, but were pleasantly surprised when over the course of the evening we got probably 10 items total, including an amuse and 3 or 4 different snacks before the first course, a pre-dessert sorbet, and a mignardise. Overall it was a terrific value and we loved almost all of the dishes. Eclectic combinations and flavors, executed nicely. I grabbed a 6pm reservation on a Friday evening that same afternoon, but found the restaurant filled up quickly through the evening, so reservations are recommended (especially with a stellar Tribune review just out).

I remember our courses included a rigatoni with chili and ricotta, a pink shrimp course that was lovely in its very lightly par-poached shrimp, and a lamb in vadouvan. The menu changes nightly, and I didn't take photos, but suffice to say I would go back in a heartbeat, especially recognizing the $65 price point is a far better value than the 4-course menu would suggest.

Both Chef Clark and Chef Kim were in the house the evening I was there and Chef Kim seemed to do a great job of managing the front of the house, quickly chatting with guests, while keeping everything moving.
