After all day of going, "uh, uh" when trying to describe what we ate for which course, here is the Taster's Menu:
Glazed Oysters with Osetra Caviar, Zucchini Pearls and Lettuce Cream
Horseradish Crusted Salmon Medallion with Dilled Cucumbers
and Mustard Sauce
Seared Filet of Beef with Yukon Potatoes, Curried Cauliflower,
Cumin-Cilantro Butter and Tamarind Glaze
A Selection of Farmhouse and Artisanal Cheeses
Baked Chocolate Soufflé with Two Sauces
While some would argue that such a menu in the hands (mouth?) of someone who doesn't even know what she's tasting is, well, wasted. I can see their point. But I can assure such naysayers that I savored every bite, that I enjoyed every minute with my sweetie.
Favorite moment? The service was exquisite. Everything was pitch-perfect, timed wonderfully. But perhaps the best moment was the 4th course, when they rolled the very large cheese cart toward us, as we're already stuffed, knowing we would have to make room for four very special bites of cheese. It was quite an experience.
One doesn't do this every day. I understand that. It'll be one of my best memories.
