After walking around the entire bay and back to my car, it was time to head to dinner at the pretty upscale place.
Thankfully, I was just in time, and as everyone had already arrived, we got seated at our table soon after.
the Fava Leaf Tortellini (Morels, Parmesan, Sweet Breads)
and the Salmon Roulade (Potato, Dill, Vidalia) for appetizers,
the Local Fluke (Saffron, Mussels, Bay Scallop),
the Onion Crespelle (Artichoke, Lemon, Olive)
and the Assiette of Suckling Pig (Wild Rapini, English Pea, Mustard) for main courses,
and the Artisanal Cheeses,
the Chocolate Pave (Pretzel, Cacao Mate, Rum)
and the Ricotta Cremeux (Graham Cracker, Rhubarb, Caramel) for dessert.
We started off with some complimentary porcini mini-macaroons and Prince Edward Island Mussels.
Our next course came in the form of a mini-croissant, which was really buttery and flavorful.
With that came the appetizers, all well presented. My foie gras was the best of the lot, expected because I had to pay an extra $12 for it, with a kind of peanut butter sauce that blended very well with the pate, and the triangular piece of brioche that went with the dish was perfectly toasted as well.
While waiting for our next course to arrive, which took a while, the waiters were nice enough to bring us some bread to pass the time.
Finally, our main courses arrived.
My onion dish had a really strong garlicky taste,
The fluke was perfectly cooked and moist,
Our excellent meal left us in great anticipation for our dessert. My cheeses were just alright though, although the marmalade was pretty good.
To top it off, we were given a bowl of mini-macaroons to sample from while waiting for our bill. Some tasted like peppers, making it a little weird at times.
Needless to say, this was a great end to a long day. I'm glad my flight wasn't delayed so I could get to dinner on time.
