OH WAIT TILL YOU HEAR ABOUT THE DINNER WE HAD PRIOR!!!
"How Mister Disney and Mr. D's K-Man lowered the nightly average cost for dining in one quick meal"
Stay tuned....
I can't wait to read the rest of your reviews. Most of them are places I plan on eating at during my next trip.
My parents are coming with us on our upcoming trip and are foodies (Dad graduated from the CIA in NY). It looks like I'll definitely make a reservation for Flying Fish. I'll be keeping my eye for the two of you from now on.
Our Signature Flying Fish Café Potato-wrapped Red Snapper
Creaming Leek Fondue, Red Wine and Cassis Butter Sauce
Where does one begin?
Surperb presentation. The potatoes were nice and brown, a little crispy on the edges (I LOVE those crispies) and wrapped around a piece of red snapper. Alas, alone the red snapper was a bit more cooked than our preferences would have it, it seems to me that in order to get the potato nice and brown and crispy, the snapper became a bit dry. Having said that, when you ate the snapper with the red wine and cassis butter sauce, it was a delicious compliment and definitely made the dish.
Oak-grilled Maine Diver Scallops
English Pea, Basil and Mascarpone Risotto d Carnaroll, Clamshell Mushrooms, Pancetta Cracklins
TO DIE FOR
This dish contained in a microenvironment everything that I love about life!
The scallops were without a doubt perfectly cooked.
English Peas....
Risotto....
Mushrooms....
Cracklins'...
WHO THE HECK DOESN'T LOVE CRACKLINS'?????
How About Some Desserts?
Warm Valrhona Chocolate** Galette
Dark Chocolate Gelato and Raspberries
Now class, can we all say... Chocolate Volcano Cake?
It is an amazing thing to break into a piece of chocolate cake and have the liquefied center ooze out... The Dark Chocolate Gelato was ok in my book, the K-Man thought it was delicious! I'll remind you all, I really am a Breyer's Ice Cream sorta guy, and gelatos for me just have a different sort of texture to them.
Lesson for the Day
Valrhona Chocolate -
Valrhona is a French chocolate manufacturer based in the small town of Tain L'Hermitage in Hermitage, a wine-growing district near Lyon. The company was founded in 1924 by a French pastry chef from the Rhône valley. It is today one of the leading producers of chocolate in the world.
Valrhona focuses mainly on top-quality luxury chocolate marketed for professional as well as for private consumption. Valrhona is currently the only company in the world that produces vintage chocolate made from beans of a single year's harvest from a specific plantation. Currently three brands of vintage chocolates Ampamakia, Gran Couva and Palmira are in production with plantations on Madagascar, Trinidad and in Venezuela respectively.
