Valentines Dinner....

With the Australian Wine dinner out of the way its time to talk about the incredible meal planned for valentines day.. I wrote the menu around what i consider the Four stages of a long lasting relationship Attraction , lust , love & loyalty , and seduction ...True Romance! every dish is visualized around the perfect date,whether its bringing a new love on your first valentine or gazing into the eyes of a person you've shared dozens of valentines..We have people popping the question.. So it has to be that memorable...The menu instead of running from appetizer to dessert....goes from Attraction to Seduction..... 4 courses. in a progression of flavor..from Oysters casino with candied citrus,or Cucumber Cannelloni stuffed with King crab salad with banavacado puree and yuzu, sweet potato and panchetta soup, a salad with edible roses and cranberry..to herb roasted Fillet Mignon and purple asparagus with port cherry sauce , and Potato wrapped Salmon with roasted organic golden beets and hibiscus red wine reduction etc. etc.... ..for a palette cleanser were doing" CUPIDS BREATH" a house made sorbet made with Indian rose water that cleans the palette and lingers ever so gently in the nose for a second .....for dessert chocolate covered organic strawberries with champagne mousseline meant to be fed to one another......for the rest of the menu just go to the restaurant website were booking quick and ...I think Valentines I think soulful , floral ,refreshing , sweet , comfort , and satisfying almost sinful I want to make it almost impossible not to clear your plate even knowing that there is 3 more courses and at the the end of the day i want 2 people to leave with a memory they wont forget for years... There is still limited seats available ..click here to see the whole menu www.cranebrook.com
