This was the first week I did not make it to work out 4 days. I only did three. I have to admit I did feel guilty about it last night, but by then it was too late to fix it.
It's Valentine's Day tomorrow. Scott and I went out to dinner last night at a place called "Chalkboard". Its a cute little restaurant located close to our neighborhood. The chef tries to use locally grown products and/or organic stuff when they can. Therefore, the menu changes based on what is available.
Last night (and all weekend for V-day), they offered a prix fix menu. 5 courses (I got the 5 courses with wine pairings).
Amuse Bouche- Caviar---I have never had cavier before, but it was such a small amount on top of a slice of fingerling potato, I didnt really taste it.
Course 1: I had the tomato bisque soup served with a grilled blue cheese sandwich (AMAZING) Scott had the risotto. He said it was good. I was a bit worried about the blue cheese sandwich. I like blue cheese, but was worried it it was just blue cheese it would be a bit overpowering. It wasn't, It was perfect!
Course 2: We both had the scallops. There are no words to describe how good these were. light, crispy, succulent. Fabulous! (the other option was a lobster salad....the lady next to me had it, it looked fine, but I'm glad I had the scallops.
Course 3: We both went with the crab crusted fillet, over the seared ahi Tuna. This course was my least favorite. The meat was very well done (and I'm a bit of pink in the center- actually it can be more than a bit kind of girl)
Dessert- cookie dough egg roll with chocolate ice cream. We shared this and it was good....but I kept myself to a few bites.
What i probably liked best about this meal is that though there were 5 courses, it wasn't TOO MUCH food. They were perfect portions. Always left me wanting more (I wasn't on the second course going I'm so full. I can't eat anymore.)
The wine pairings were very well thought out. very fresh, very good.
All in all, a very happy valentines day.
