  • cherry glen farm goat cheese ravioli butternut squash, maitake mushrooms, toasted pumpkin seed, celeriac (WIFE)

2nd Course:

  • red wattle pork belly calypso beans, petite turnips, mustard seeds, mostarda (WE EACH HAD THIS)

Main Course:

  • Maine lobster black forbidden rice, celery root, carrot tarragon vinaigrette (ME)
  • pineland farms strip loin gratin of beef cheek and potato, sorghum glazed turnips, pearl onion, petit carrots, rutabaga (WIFE)

DESSERT (Shared):

  • Apple gala apple and walnut cake, bourbon poached apples, macon apple butter, dulce de leche ice cream
  • Textures of chocolate ganache, chocolate caramel, pistachio, raw organic cocoa

The final touch, which I really liked was when we left, they gave each of a coffee cake to enjoy in the AM.
