Ok, so this was date night, extraordinaire. I didn't even take a peek at the menu. All was ordered for me. Much to my delight.
The foie gras was to die for. The fresh pea soup with a hint of mint and a little island of baked meringue *thingie* in the middle was delightful and refreshing between courses. The sea bass was yummy.
So why four stars and not five? I thought they could do better on the wine. And this may be more MY issue than it is theirs but if the man is not ordering wine for himself and it is left up to me to "try it" and decide whether it is good or not.......I was uncomfortable saying that it wasn't.
Lastly.......I tried to be dainty.....I really did. I gently demurred on the matter of dessert...but it was ordered for me anyway. Creme brulee. A classic. Placed right in front of me.....there was not one bit of will in me left to protest. Perhaps that is what Mr. Date planned all along. :)
