Blogging on the road from Charlottesville, VA, where K's fam and I dined at the excellent Savour. The chef-owner offers a very reasonable 3-course $30 pris fixe with clever flavor combinations, satisfying portions, and dazzling presentation. He even personally visited our table before our order to answer any questions, eager to accomodate any special requests and/or dietary needs.
I had a lovely meal, but the highlight was most definitely the above pictured calamari appetizer (which they call "bites"). The calamari was so delicately steamed it was practically creamy, stuffed with a savory and moist black risotto, topped with a dab of flying fish roe, all atop a bed of seaweed salad and gently dressed with a buttery white miso. Quite memorable!
After dinner, the chef came round again to send us each home with bags full of the day's leftover freshly baked (and still warm) bread. I highly recommend Savour to anyone in the Charlottesville area.
