Friday was a day we had set aside for Typhoon Lagoon because the temperature was going to be high 80s...but since Ethan liked the WL pool so much and we would have to buy tickets to TL (>$100 even with discounts) we decided to use this as a day to relax.
We went to DTD around mid-morning for some last minute shopping. For lunch we decided to do Wolfgang Puck again. Unfortunately I didn't take any pics, but I had the rainbow roll (OK) and Sarah the spinach salad (spinach, radicchio, blue cheese, apples and caramelized pecans). The salad was fantastic, a multitude of disparate flavours that summed to more than its individual parts. There was the bitter radicchio, the strong blue cheese, the fruity apple, and the sweet pecans. Sarah rated it the best salad she had all week.
Ethan had the cheese pizza again. A word is in order - this is a great pizza. Crispy crust, fresh sauce, great cheese - why can't all cheese pizzas be like this?
Dinner was at Artist Point. We had a good dinner here back in 2005, when I had the smoky portobello soup (excellent!), cedar plank salmon (good) and a trio of coffee desserts (mmm!).
This time we shared the venison spring rolls (no pic, but looked like thin spring rolls) for starters. Sarah liked it, but I thought the filling was a little mushy and unappealing.
For the main course, I had the Pan-seared Scallops with fire-roasted Corn, Fava Beans, Caramelized Onions, Bacon, and Corn Nectar:
(Sorry about the flash!)
The scallops were fresh and well-seared, though the bacon and corn nectar tended to overpower the other ingredients.
Sarah had the Potato Chive Pot Stickers with edamame, spinach and soy vinaigrette:
The pot stickers were crunchy and Sarah, who LOVES potatoes, raved about them. But for $20, they should have been much better than the pot stickers or gyoza you can get at a Chinese or Japanese restaurant.
For dessert, we shared the Hazelnut Chocolate Torte with Blood Orange sauce, and Honey Lavendar Ice Cream. I forgot to take a picture until it was already half demolished, so apologies again. Sarah liked this better than the honey crunch cake from California Grill, but I thought it was too powdery in texture and lacked the sweet zing from the best desserts.
All in all, a mixed bag this time from Artist Point. Maybe I'm not a big fan of game, but I wouldn't order the venison spring rolls again.
Heck, why not? Yes, I'm a foodie
