62 Main - Review
For our big, fancy, dinner celebrating our anniversary, we went to 62 Main, in the heart of downtown Colleyville (or what is supposed to be downtown.) It's just down the street from City Hall and the library in a shopping area similar to Soutlake's Town Center.
The restaurant is small, seating only 62 people (ha). Layout is very cozy and has clean lines. We had reservations and throughout most of our time there every table was occupied.
The menu is fairly short, about 4 choices each in the starters, salads, and entrees sections. For starters, I had the jumbo lump crab cake with a tangy tartar sauce. It was so tender and almost entirely crab, with barely enough other stuff to hold it together. Just the way I like it. Hubby had a wood-grilled shrimp with a smoky roasted red pepper sauce. It was really good. They have a wood-burning oven and let you know what the "wood of the day" is on their board. That day it was a Texas oak.
My entree was a pork belly with some kind of pureed turnip mixture. I didn't look at the menu closely enough to remember what it was. It was good - what little I got. One whole section of my pork was all fat. On top was a prune and morel sauce. I loved the prunes and the sweetness of the sauce, but forgot it had morels. Ugh, I hate mushrooms. I bit right into a morel thinking it was a prune and gagged. Hubby had the fish of the day which was halibut. It came with a tiny little polenta bite and some sort of sauce. He wasn't overly enthusiastic about it. He especially didn't like the ramps that came with it that were long and stringy and hard to eat.
There were selections on the menu which included polenta, gnocchi, and a warm chocolate cake - all things I had made recently. It was pretty funny. To steer away from that, our choices were either creme brulee or the cobble of the day. We chose the rhubarb and raspberry cobbler, mainly because I'd never had rhubarb before. It was pretty good, helped mainly by the ice cream on top. I was kind of disappointed I couldn't pick out the rhubarb. It became a reddish sweet mush with no discernible fruits.
The service was excellent. The only wine we had was one glass of sauvignon blanc, which I don't normally drink, but I thought it was nice with the crab. By the time the entree came around I wasn't feeling like another glass of wine. I'm not sure we'd go back. I would, but hubby thought it was too expensive for what was there. Especiall since I can (and did) make half the menu recently!
