Stopped in again last night for a drink and a small bite to eat. I ordered a glass of Pinot Grigio...I don't remember which one, I just know it's the more expensive one on the menu and it's yummy. And my hubby ordered more of Steve's Mojitos.
We ordered the Golden Calamari. It is fried in a chili buttermilk batter and served with a garlic aioli. The were cooked perfectly and and were delicious!
After the app I opted to try the Molten Chocolate Cake. At first I wasn't sure because of the basil creme anglaise but boy am I glad I branched out. The chocolate cake was deliciously moist and was well complimented by the basil creme anglaise. It came with vanilla bean ice cream in a candy tuille basket and was garnished with a crispy basil leaf. I got three basil leafs and popped one in my mouth as soon as it was put down in front of me. I was going to just move them to the side but my husband made the suggestion to eat one of the leaves with a bite of the ice cream. Wow! I highly recommend you try this. I ate the last two leaves this way and then wished I had crumbled them up and sprinkled them all over the ice cream. The candy tuille basket tastes like the inside of a Skor bar and when you take a bite of the candy, ice cream, and chocolate cake it's just heaven in your mouth! I will definitely be having this dessert again!
As always, we had a great time and were served by our favourite bartender, Steve. I hope you get to meet him the next time you're in.
