Next, three of us ordered salad. Ed had the Serrano Ham and Goat Cheese Croqueta (Mixed Field Greens, Sun-Dried Tomato, Black Walnuts) which was pretty good - the fried goat cheese croqueta thrilled me. Marlaina had the Flavors of Arugula (Trio of Roasted Bets, Capriole Farms Goat Cheese, Champagne Vinaigrette, Dijon); it was a beautifully presented dish. And finally, I had the Spinach and Roasted Pear Salad (Seasonal Berries, Capriole Farms Goat Cheese, Black Walnuts, Balsamic Mustard). I loved this salad, but my favorite part was the Balsamic Mustard dressing; it was a spicy mustard and gave the sweet balsamic a great little kick.
For our entrées...oh, my, my. I had the Fideo (Seared Sea Scallops, Angel Hair Pasta, Artichoke Hearts, Asparagus, Truffle Goat Cheese, Toasted Pine Nuts); so far I'm three for three with the goat cheese, I wonder what dessert will have in store? Ed had the "Mugs" Bistec (USDA Prime Beef Tenderloin, Farm Fresh Fried Egg, Caramalized Onion, Chimichurri, New Red Potato Mash); he gave me a piece of his steak and it was so tender, I don't even remember chewing it. Greg had the Atun de Chefe (Chef's daily creation of fresh sustainable tuna) and Marlaina had the Macadamia Crusted Pacific Cod (Cranberry Couscous, Habanero, Passion Fruit); I didn't taste either of their dishes, but they ate every speck on their plate!
For dessert...Marlaina and I had the Bread Pudding with Bourbon glaze, Ed had a Flourless Chocolate Cake and I think Greg passed on dessert...I don't recall. I think I may still be in a bread pudding daze.
I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting the Louisville area, along with last night's place, the Napa River Grill. Next year, I'm mapping out my restaurants before I even LOOK at the show guide!
