Who is the most spoiled girl? I AM! Iain took me to a fabulous dinner at Perspectives at the Brookstreet Hotel last night, as a special Valentine's treat for our 20th anniversary year. Dinner was preceded by martinis at the Options Bar, which is a nice relaxing spot; they make a pretty good martini, though Iain makes the best at home.
Since my phone doesn't have a flash, and it is the only camera I had on me, I don't have any pictures of the lovely meal, but if you would like to see the menu, you can find it here. I had the ostrich and the guinea fowl with lamb; Iain chose the skate and the rack of lamb (we wanted to taste-test each other's, of course!). Not on the menu are a one-bite appetizer sent out by the chef: duck, goat cheese, and pineapple chutney on a piece of toasted bagel; incredibly good.
We chose a Kenwood Pinot Noir 2006 from California to accompany the meal, and chased it with coffee (which they also do right).
The dessert deserves extra comment. Three little items, all so different, and all so good. The sweetest and richest was the walnut/apple cake; the chocolate pudding was wonderfully smooth; and the sorbet was sharp and sour - a grapefruit flavour. I just made the rounds among them until I could manage no more.
We had a great time: excellent service, a nice atmosphere, and the best company at my table I could ask for, too.
