Hendricks & Tonic (Charlie) - A solid standby
1/2 VDC Rouge (500 mL House Red Wine) - Perhaps the best deal of the trip - a 500 mL serving of a pre-release 2008 Realm Cellars Cabernet Franc / Merlot 80/20 blend from Sagecoach Vineyard by Michael Hirby. A fantastic wine and only $25.00! Why can't anyone else's "house red" be this awesome???
1/2 Dozen Oysters - We got an assortment of 3 types of oysters. Can't recall the types, but 2 were sweet and one was very salty. First time I've had a large, sweet and a small, salty. I'm used to it being the other way around...
House Cured Fluke (Daily Special) - Absolutely amazing. Came with a balsamic vinaigrette with red sweet peppers and I don't know what else. Just goodness.
"Poulet Roti" - Roasted Chicken with Red Rice, Pickled Grapes, Wilted Arugula, Candied Hazelnuts, and Tarragon Chicken Jus (Charlie) - I'd heard Keller's roasted chicken was amazing. And even though the combination of flavors of this dish did not particularly interest me, I had to try it. Boy, am I glad I did. Wow. What an amazing plate. And, again, a great deal at only $26.00.
Olive Oil-Poached Salmon with Fingerling Potatoes and ? (Brandy) - I only took one bite of this, so I'm not really fairly positioned to comment.
Macaroni au Gratin - A solid pasta and cheese side. Honestly, I preferred Cindy Pawlcyn's at Mustard's, but this was still good.
Haricot Vert - I'd had Bouchon's haricot vert with the pan-roasted trout in Vegas a couple of years ago. Once again, they did not disappoint.
This meal took place on 7/6/10.
