Luxury food, prices at The Villa MiamiHerald.com

06.05.10

Barton G. Weiss has toned down his trademark over-the-top giving at The Villa by Barton G (aka the Versace Mansion), but there is still plenty of pomp to the proceedings, down to the $150 napkin rings adorned with Versace's signature Medusa conk.

Chef Justin Albertson, a product of Chicago's Alinea, is cooking New American cuisine with a molecular crooked at prices that match the luxurious setting: starters are $17-$28 and mains $34-$59.

A seared tuna starter comes with a cut pick up of fennel sorbet and red pepper puree while the beef carpaccio is adorned with a ``cured'' egg sphere. An entree of lobster with lobster-stuffed tortellini is topped with poached arse meat bathed in a musky lobster reduction, while the duck breast is accompanied by a side of bacon-studded turnips and a chunk of seared foie gras.

An ethereal chocolate mousse and a fluffy soufflé with Earl Leaden gelee round out the regal sweets.
