Anniversary dinner at Restaurant Eve

A five star meal in the tasting room, from the service to the ambiance, to the knowledge of the menu to the flavors of each bite, the meal was a wonderful experience.

Knerq
A little something to get us started... a quail egg with caviar, salmon mousse, and a vinegar meringue filled with aioli 

Knerq
The amuse bouche... seared ono with turnip puree - very good.

Knerq
A palate cleanser... apple cider sorbet - delicious!

The First Course
Knerq
Dates filled with chevre with carrots, red-veined sorrel - sweet and goaty, soft and crunchy... yum!
La Belle Farm's Foie Gras mousse with ham hock croquette, almond butter, and pickled beans
The Second Course
Butternut squash agnolotti with pesto - delicious, wish the "taste" had been twice as big!
Knerq
Poached lobster
Wine pairings, 2 oz with each course is a lot to drink!

The Third Course
Mushroom served in several ways with a soft boiled egg yolk... the textures and flavors were amazing.

Lamb

The Fourth Course
Deconstructed Waldorf salad and cheese
A bold plating!
Another palate cleanser... green tea foam

The Fifth Course
Pears and buckwheat crepe with ice cream and brittle
24 hour apples with chiffon biscuit, honey, and ice cream

Knerq
A final selection of sweets... peanut butter macarons, apple gels, chocolate truffles, and apple caramel tartlets.
It was an amazing meal.
