Back to Maude after a year, and for the last regular tasting menu of 2016. October’s highlighted ingredient — Chicory. $135.00 for the tasting menu, gratuity, and tax not-inclusive.  Wine Pairing is $100.00, while the Reserve Wine Pairing is $135.00. Listed on the menu is a Saint-Romain, Burgundy, France 2010, that was served with the Raviolo course.  Somehow, I missed getting a photo of the label. http://www.mauderestaurant.com/
