| - Hello, best meal of my life. My foodie boyfriend and myself are going to be apart for the summer so for our last Cleveland meal together we decided to go to Greenhouse. We've been both dying to try it since we moved to Cleveland so now was the perfect chance.
We made reservations for an early 5:00 dinner on a Friday night. We arrived early and sat at the bar for a few drinks and an appetizer. We ordered the bread and butter, which to me was just okay, but I'm also not a butter-lover. My boyfriend, a butter-fanatic, said it was some of the best butter he's had.
For dinner we were seated at the chef's table. Amazing, Best night of my life, no joke. We both chose to do the 4-course tasting. I started with the homemade fromage blanc. Delicious. mY boyfriend opted for the Pork Pate. I'm not normally a pate fan, the whole idea grosses me out. But wow was the this good. I think the BF was in heaven eating his.
For second, my boyfriend had the Hand Ground Beef Tartare Frites. He absolutely loved the dish. I just nibbled a few fries but I can say that they have replaced Michael Symon's fries has my favorite fries on planet earth. Crunch, thin, flavorful, yum. Not interested in any of the seconds myself, I asked to swap in a half dish and settled upon the Frisée Side Salad. A little dollop of goat cheese heaven is hidden beneath the fresh greens. Delicate and tasty.
It was my main course, however, that blew me away. I ordered the Half Roasted Chicken in Brioche Bread. Honestly, I never knew chicken could taste so good. It was so moist and exploding with flavor. The brioche bread works magic. And the bread tastes great, too. My boyfriend and I are determined to find a way to make it ourselves. For his main course he had the Whole Roasted Ohio Lamb Crepinette which, surprise, surprise, was out-of-this-world good. I'm not a fan of lamb, but the dish was delicate and delicious.
The only disappointment of the evening were the desserts. My boyfriend ordered the Carmel Milk Chocolate Pot de Crème. It was the perfect dessert for him because he loves caramel and all things uber-sweet. I thought it was too sweet. I tried the Carmel Apple Rum Raisin Crepe and couldn't get past two bites. Our waitress was kind enough to swap it out for a blueberry tart-type dessert that was a special that evening. That one wasn't good, either. Next time I do the 4-course tasting, I'll skip dessert.
One of the best highlights of the night was a free black truffle omelet that the chef offered us at the chef's table. Holy wow. If you know anything about fresh black truffles, I don't need to say any more. If you don't know anything about fresh black truffles, you're missing out.
Our waitress was also amazing and we really enjoyed the vibe of the restaurant. We can't wait to go back.
