Valentine's Day at Georgetown

Yesterday, Steve and I went to Georgetown to celebrate Valentine's Day.  This is the restaurant that we went to a couple of years ago that inspired me to start this blog.  We even got the same waitress and she remembered us.

We started the evening with an amuse-bouche of broccoli cheddar soup.  Very delicious and pleasantly warm.  Just enough for a taste to get the appetite whetted.

The bread was nice.  I think the butter had a sort of tomato-esque flavor to it.  The bread was sourdough, soft in the middle with a pleasantly crisp crust.

We resolved that tonight we would order dessert, so we skipped the appetizers to make sure we had room.  Steve got filet Mignon.  The some of the potatoes were blue in color.   It was nicely tender.

I decided to have the roast duck.  That was delicious!   It was ever so savory, with walnuts, apples, foise gras, and water chestnuts. 

Steve and I have different tastes when it comes to dessert.   He ordered the flour-less chocolate cake with coffee ice cream.   He enjoyed it.

However, it was dwarfed by the impressive plating of my vanilla mousse with mixed berries and chocolate dipped honeycomb.  The mouse had a nice mouth feel and perfectly complimented by the strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries.

This is a closeup of the honeycomb.

The portions were generous enough for each of us to have lunch today.  Let's call it four meals!  We'll definitely be coming back.
