SEARED SCALLOPS OVER POLENTA WITH PONZU AND SCALLIONS- the dish was well executed. the scallops were seared perfectly, crisp and brown with a juicy center. the flavors were balanced and clean. the plate had symmetry and color.
FILET MIGNON WITH A PORTABELLO COMPOUND BUTTER, MONTEREY JACK GRITS, ROASTED CORN AND GRILLED OKRA- this entree could not have been better. the steak was exactly medium rare and the compound butter had an essence of truffle. the grits were rich and the fresh thyme provided a beautiful bridge to the steak and vegetables. it was colorful and southern food at its finest.
CHAMPAIGN WITH EGG WHITES AND SUGAR OVER A STRAWBERRY ROLLED STUFFED CAKE WITH MANGO AND BERRY REDUCTION, FRESH KIWI AND OTHER BERRIES- need i say more.
SERVICE WAS A 12 OUT OF A 10. BRIAN, GAETAN, ROBIN, CANDACE, JEREMY were all a pleasure to meet. I even got to meet papa BEAR. PAM AND JOHN GAVE US THE ROYAL TREATMENT.

Damn! I saw Mike’s picture of that. Definitely puts my desserts to shame. Oh, any suggestions for non-chocolate or berry dessert?
