What we ate:
We each ordered something different but ended up getting to try some of the best things on the menu
Starters
Lobster Bisque with Cream, Brandy, Lobster Chunks (me) - The soup was the perfect thing to get on a cold night. The bisque had a very strong tomato base I would have preferred more of a seafood flavor but because it was so tomato based I think those who aren't huge seafood fans would have like it. The brandy gave the dish a extremely nice finish and the lobster wasn't over done though I wish i could have had more of its flavor.
Napoleon of Wild Mushrooms with Chardonnay-Mushroom Nage (roommate & me) - Originally my roommate ordered this but after I tried hers I ordered one for myself. I love dishes where mushrooms are the main attraction and this didn't disappoint. The woodsy earthy taste of the mushrooms was brought out even more so with the use of the Chardonnay. Not too salty and not at all over cooked this was one of my favorites of the night.
Entrees
Short Ribs of Beef Braised in Red Wine with Roasted Root Vegetables, Horseradish Cream (roommate) - The meat was cooked well and the meat was falling apart. The Horseradish cream wasn't very strong so i wasn't very sure about why is was event there beside asthetics. But my roomates liked it and vegtables looksed extremly yummy
Pan Roasted Dungeness Crab Crusted Sea Scallop with Black Truffle Cauliflower Custard and a Foie Gras Hollandaise
Desserts
Banana Cream Pie with Oreo Cookie Crust and Toasted Almonds (roomate) -
Apple Galette with Caramel (me) -
