So lunch yesterday ended up being at The Clarmont. The sliders were really delicious. I also got a bowl of really good old school French Onion Soup. The $10 offering from Pistachia Vera is ridiculously yummy.
Dinner at G Michaels was simply outstanding. I had the Pork Belly appetizer and it ties with Sage's pork belly as my favorite appetizer.
I also had the Quail and it was cooked perfectly. There's a lot going on on that plate, but the various flavors and textures balanced perfectly.
No lunch today, Lynne isn't feeling so good. But dinner at The Top is still on for tonight. I'll let y'all know how it goes.

The Pistacia Vera offering looked like a lot of stuff for $10. Am I misreading it?

You read it right, PV always offers a generous sampler for Dine Originals Week, and you can get it to-go. Try it Tara, it's a great deal and beautiful too.

I so love PV. My nephew's b-day party was a few weeks back, I dropped by and picked up about 50 bucks worth of goodies. There was almost fisticuffs between the adults and kids over the fudgies.

I, too, love Pistacia, and live within walking distance. Yes, the little fudge cookies are all a person could want. Core, your nephew totally gets points for being sophisticated enough to have his b-day bash there instead of some kid place.

While I really want to try Skillet's offering (looks amazing) I think we're going to try DeepWood tonight as we haven't been there in a while. Also curious about their Cincinnati-style chili offering.

I should have taken pics. It was an amazing amount of yummy for the price. My personal favorite is their take on fruitcake.

Just grabbed a reservation for an early din din at G. Michael's on Saturday. I can't resist pork belly!

Had Skillet's menu last night - the only thing not tested was the dessert crumble (who can resist bread pudding?).... both starters were fantastic (I had the brussel sprouts and oh my), and each of the mains were *so* well crafted. The polenta has the added distinction of being veg-friendly. If anyone was on the fence about going, lemme just pull you right off. ;)

Went on Friday for lunch with MBeaumont to Clarmont for the sliders. They were quite good, and the fries there are awesome too. Great deal for $10 at a sit-down restaurant as nice as Clarmont. :D

Awesome dinner at Black Creek Bistro! YUM!!! Bistro salad (fresh greens, gorgonzola, seasonal fruit, candied walnuts, shaved red onion and balsamic vinaigrette); firecracker shrimp (spicy thai chili sautÃƒÂ©ed shrimp with garlic, jalapeÃƒÂ±o, red onion sauce); salmon asparagus lattice with lemon chive burr blanc over Yukon mashies; rice pudding with cranberry sauce with basil, candied orange, and walnuts!

I went to Cotter's Thursday night after a full day of meetings right around the corner. We were the ONLY table in the entire place, which probably should have been my first clue. We ordered the house salad, beef short ribs and carrot cake (they didn't have any of the desserts listed on their menu). Everything was bland and unimpressive. The bleu cheese mashed potatoes tasted like they were the quick-cooking things from a box.

It was my first and last time ever eating at Cotter's.

Friday night at Deepwood I was planning on the DOW menu, but my friendÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s birthday interfered, so I was forced to do a six course tasting menu with beverage pairings.
Foie gras, seared, cucumber, brioche pain perdu, coconut milk, Delamonte champagne
Quail, apricot stuffed, arugala, blood orange vinaigrette, Pinot Gris
Prosciutto ribbons, bay scallops, spaghetti squash, sage, butternut-scotch sauce, Rousanne & Pinot Noir
Rabbit schnitzel & Lamb rack, speatzle, smoked apple gravy, Abstract (California syrah blend) & Rouchbier (Bamburg smoked Marzen)
Quince mousse, pistachio phyllo napoleon, honey-white balsamic reduction, late harvest chardonnay

Finished the schnitzel and lamb for lunch today
Everything was beautiful and absolutely delicious-presented with personal menus, all while the place was completely full. Deepwood is so awesome! Maybe IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ll get the Dine Originals Week menu next time...
