Cafe Hiro's 2014 Christmas Eve Prix-Fixe - Cypress

Christmas Eve is one of the best nights of the year to visit Cafe Hiro. Six years ago on this blog, I literally waxed poetic on the wonderful Prix-Fixe meals it offers there the night before Christmas.

This year, I'll let the iPhone pictures and the menu descriptions speak for themselves.

Herewith is what Chef Hiro Ohiwa and crew served this evening--a 4-course dinner for $45 per person.

FIRST COURSE

Diced ahi tuna and fresh mozzarella cheese with daikon radish, cucumber salad and mentaiko sauce.

Sauteed oyster on seasoned daikon radish and sweet miso sauce.
