I went with a group of 8 friends from the studio; should have had a larger group - the food was so tasty that we all passed our plates around the table. More friends would have meant more samples!
Eclectic menu grouped by geographical region. During our visit, these included: Cheese & Charcuterie, From Italy, The Carolinas, From Central America, From Africa, From France, From Spain, and of course, For the Sweet Tooth. Favorites of the evening were rock shrimp with orzo and shaved spring vegetables, bacon apple and fig pizza (YUM!), stuffed poblanos, cheerwine-glazed shortrib, shrimp and grits, moules mariniere, saffron apricots and apples poached with crispy bacon, and the white chocolate berry tart.
Perhaps best of all, Rue Thirtytwo offers 32 wines by the glass in a good range of pours - and Tad is one of the area's most knowledgeable wine encyclopedias.
