| - I ate tongue. I ate tongue. Yes, you read that right! I ATE TONGUE AND IT WAS FRICKEN AWESOME!
What a treat Asbury was! My husband and I have been wanting to try the Asbury for a while and did last week featuring their Winter Menu (menu switches by season). Note, this is a farm to table restaurant meaning every thing they make and cook is locally sourced within 100 miles of the restaurant. The menu had a variety of selections and included apps, small plates, salads, entrees and al carte items. Bellows our break-down:
Appetizer:
Deviled eggs- Now how basic are deviled eggs? You can't really mess them up, but the Asbury made them amazing! The filling was creamy and not tarty like most made with mustard. Plus, they were topped with fried cornichons aka pickles! NOM
Small Plate:
Here is the game changer. We ordered bison TONGUE! I was in shock when my husband ordered it. I was speechless. How was I going to eat TONGUE!!!?? Well when it came out it smelled bomb diggity so I had to try it (YOLO). It was fricken awesome! It was so tender and kinda of tasted like a pot roast. I WOULD order this again! Live on the edge!
Entree:
I got the Lamb Chop. So tender and flavorful! The cranberry chutney with the cocoa demi glaze was a unique blend of flavors that complimented the meal well. My favorite part were the whipped sweet potatoes- they were purple! So delicious- I wanted more! My husband got the Pork Cheek (server recommendation). He really like it (I tried it- very good), but we thought it was too similar to the tongue, maybe because we liked that better. The best part of his meal I thought were the brussel sprouts with the pecan sauce. YUMMY!
Dessert:
Of course we had to get dessert- who do you think we are? The pasty chef seems to switch the menu up so we tried one of her seasonal specials- Homemade cookie ice-cream (tasted like the cookie butter from trader joes) with homemade cookie crumbs and ginger snap cookies. SO GOOD!
Drink:
I got the lavender blossom- titos, prosecco and lavendar- very refreshing and light! My only draw back on my experience is that the drinks seemed to take a while (10-15 minute wait) They do share the bar with the hotel (and it was pretty packed), but I could tell other tables were waiting for drinks too.
Overall, Asbury was such a delight- from the service to the food, it was a perfect evening! I will be back! I heard brunch is good too! If you're a foodie you must try this place!
ps. I told my brother who is a head chef at a country club about my experience and he was SUPER jealous! I'll have to take him here next time he visits!
