Dinner at 411 West

Hubby and I went out for Father's Day dinner at 411 West last night. It was one of the best meals I've had there.

We each got a salad to start. Frisee lettuce, fresh local blackberries, thinly shaved cucumber, toasted almonds slivers, lardons, cherry tomatoes, and a blackberry vinaigrette. It was topped with a crostini and goat cheese spread.

My meal, which was ginormous (but they also serve a smaller portion if desired), was one of the weekly specials. A mushroom ravioli served with pea greens, sauteed shrimp, and a roasted poblano cream sauce, topped with two pieces of crispy pancetta.

Hubby ordered the sea bass served with squash casserole, sweet corn, green beans, and a black bean sauce.

For dessert the kitchen surprised hubby with a Father's Day treat. Blueberries and blackberries over puff pastry, whipped cream, and fresh creme anglaise. The plate was dusted with cinnamon.
