Continuing with Fig Goes Sig and Food & Wine...
Kona Cafe (breakfast, 10/23/11)
Macadamia Pineapple Pancakes with Sausage - the pancakes had large pieces of macadamia nuts and the pineapple and butter topping was really good.
Big Kahuna - lots of food!
The Somoan - sadly this was the least successful item. The pork didn't really have any flavor.
Columbia Harbor House (mid-day snack, 10/23/11)
Lobster Roll, chips, and a soda - the roll was okay, but it was kind of hard to really get much of the lobster taste given all of the dressing it was mixed with. Figment is glad he's tried one, but not really likely to go back.
On to Figment's second Signature dinner...Narcoossee's (our favorite!)
Appetizers
Bread and Hawaiin sea salt dusted butter
Pressed pot coffee - Figment really liked the press pot idea - so much so, he bought one of the Mickey press pot for a souvenir
Jumbo Lump Crab Cake - these were so yummy!
Rhode Island Calamari - also really yummy! The calamari was nice and tender, but the outside was wonderfully crunchy.
Entrees
Surf and Turf - filet mignon and lobster tail - very yummy!
Surf and Turf - filet mignon and crab cakes
Crab-crusted Flounder
Steamed Whole Maine Lobster - YUM! This is Figment's favorite (out of everything he ate this trip)!
Desserts
Seasonal sorbets (no sugar added) with fresh fruit - nice and light
Florida Strawberry-Lemon Tart - the server said it is realtively new to the menu. It had a good flavor, slightly tart (lemon) and still sweet (strawberries)
Almond-crusted Cheesecake - the best cheesecake Figment had on the trip!
Bittersweet Chocolate Mousse Dome - Chocolate! This is Figment's favorite dessert at Narcoossee's. The mousse is nice and creamy, but the best part were the chocolate pearls scattered on the dish that added a nice crunch. YUM!
Le Cellier (dinner, 10/24/11) - we went to an early dinner seating, so there were still folks having "lunch". The table scape was bit fancier, but not much else seemed that different from lunch time.
Appetizers
Pretzel bread and butter - it's still the same pretzel bread as at lunch time (not that I'm complaining because I like the pretzel bread)
Le Cellier Lobster Chopped Salad - nice chunks of lobster in the salad
Seared Scallops - the scallops were tender and sweet
Entrees
Grilled Bone-In Rib-Eye - a good steak, cooked perfectly.
Le Cellier Mushroom Filet Mignon - very similiar to the lunch filet mignon, except the risotto seemed to have larger pieces and variety of mushrooms. Sadly, Figment couldn't tell the difference between the Canadian beef and the one served at lunch time...both were really yummy.
Desserts
Seasonal sorbets
Trio of Chocolate - Canadian Club Chocolate Mousse, Chocolate Sorbet, and warm Chocolate-Almond Cake - surprisingly, the chocolate sorbet was the best. It had a nice light flavor. The chocolate-almond cake was a bit to strong in the almond flavor for my taste. The mousse was good and chocolatey.
