J.T. Prime Pop-Up By Alex Trujillo

is next door to J.T. Bros

 Handcrafted Sandwiches.

Eric and I enter the door on the right for dinner.

The Bar

I like the art here.

Black Mamba with her

Katana in Kill Bill

The details of this painting

are thought-provoking.

Eric and I are escorted past the Bar and the kitchen to our table.

The green table has been

moved for dinner.

At lunch, it was used in

kitchen as a workspace.

Eric & I toast to our

Tasting Menu experience

with Pinot Grigio.

Dinner starts with Spicy

Ahi Tuna Toastadas.

They are as tasty as the

name implies.

(Then I turn on the flash...)

Followed by Wild Mushroom

Bruschetta.

They are a feast for the eyes

& the tastebuds.

Bacon-Wrapped Dates on a

bed of Chipotle Aioli

This is the only way to eat

Dates!

The carefully spiced Market 

Oysters are served atop ice

in a giant Martini Glass.

It's fun to watch the Martini

Glass change colors.

The Caesar Salad is dee-licious.

Our wine changes to Cabernet for the rest of our dinner.

The House-Made Short Rib Ravioli 

is served with Spinach, Tomato 

Gorgonzola Sauce & a Balsamic 

Reduction.

Eric & I linger over the complex

flavors & textures in this dish.

Tonight's Chef Special is New York

Steak with Chim Cherry Sauce is

 served on a bed of Mashed

 Potatoes & topped with Vegetables.

It is a work of Culinary Art.

Our decadent 

Desserts are

Chocolate Lava 

Cake served with 

Raspberry Sauce &...

Coconut Ice Cream

with caramelized 

Pineapple.

Chef Alex's Tasting Menu is superb.  Eric and I will be returning for dinner whenever we are in Yuma.
