    First time enjoying Sempre Oggi. It lived up to it's promise when I read about its new Michelin star. The whole experience was excellent and of course the food.... every course was terrific. One of the highlights was the Caesar salad, but it was all superb. Sadly, we did not have room for desert, so we'll have to go back. ;)

    The food at Sempre Oggi is very good, using fresh ingredients and with thoughtful preparation; and . We had two different pastas—cappeletti with an English pea-and-ricotta filling (superb) and spaghetti with spring onions and garlic scape (interesting but not great). We also had the halibut with almond crust and almond-milk sauce served with grilled snap peas and roasted little potatoes; the fish was excellent, but the almond crust detracted a bit from the halibut's delicate flavor. For our side dish, we had the excellent grilled asparagus (2our server, Lexie, was outstanding plates for the 3 of us). I would go back just for the cappeletti and the grilled asparagus. One caveat: The hostess did not fulfill our request for a quiet table in a corner; when I pointed to a booth closer to the front of the restaurant that we'd prefer, she told us "Those are for larger parties." Well, we were a party of 3 at a table for 4, and the booths were also for parties of 4. Next time I expect to have the hostess be more accommodating to such a request. (And I told her so on our way out.)
