Bread...the one with nuts and raisins were good, just way too crispy. It got messy...
Fresh orchids on the table!!!
Amuse bouche: pickled vegetables on a biscuit. Loved the pickled taste of the carrots and red onions, it wasn't too sour and slightly sweet.
First course: Pan Seared Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes - the dips are caper, garlic, bacon malt vinegar aioli trio with spicy red carrot relish. I preferred garlic aioli the most; the bacon one tasted a bit too heavy, and caper didn't really taste like anything.
Main Course: Grilled Atlantic Salmon - served with Chorizo sausage, swiss chard, potato, whole grain mustard beurre blanc. Not exactly sure how whole-grain mustard differs from regular mustard.
Main Course: Chicken Under a Brick - served with country fried potatoes, baby carrots, white wine sage pan sauce. These were the real baby carrots! Not like the "bootleg" ones they sell in bags in supermarkets. Anyways, there's also pieces of (roasted?) garlic that went very well with the chicken and sauce. At first I had trouble picking between Pappardelle Bolognese and this chicken, and since the waitress said the people would go crazy if this was taken off the menu...it was a dish that needs to be tried! Besides, the name of the dish is funky!
Third Course + coffee : Cranberry Blood Orange Crisp served with vanilla ice cream
Third course: Bread pudding with white chocolate sauce and Jack Daniel's Whiskey - this serving was huge...even though the alcohol should've evaporated (right? otherwise kids can't eat the dessert!) I think I still got a little..."under the influence".
