I took Bea out to French 75 Bistro in the Marketplace last night. It was a tasty meal. I haven't been in love with this place in the past, but it was very good last night. It was a fixed price menu with some options.
First, after we sat down they brought us an appetizer of a tasty cream with raw salmon and caviar on an endive leaf.
Then I had the seared foie gras that was served on a big plate with toasts, cooked greens, and blood orange slices. It was my first time with foie gras (fattened duck or goose liver). I liked it mostly, but I wasn't sure of the sliminess of the inside. Bea had a lobster and corn chowder which was good, but more corn than lobster. Then we shared a Caesar Salad which was the kind where they don't chop the romaine spears. They were good, but overdressed.
For the main course, Bea had a filet. I had braised short ribs with mashed potatoes and green beans and carrots. It was very tasty.
Then the dessert was unbelievable. It was a perfect White Chocolate souffle with raspberry sauce and cream.
At the end they brought us "free" glasses of champagne. I'm not a big champagne guy so I had a couple sips and then we left. It was a pretty good meal.
Did you go out or stay home or go out on a different night????

I hung out with the coolest little girls in the world last night while my hubby sat through yet another fascinating history class. We're going to 21 Oceanfront tonight for a nice dinner. I prefer to go out after valentine's day. I can't stand the crowds on the actual day.
crowds? I didn't even notice that anyone else was out last night. I thought it was just us;)
