~Our Tasting!!!~

Sooooo last Saturday the FI, Kristeen & I headed out for our Tasting at the Mediterraneo Restaurant & mmm mmm mmm it was DELISH!!!  Don't mind the lighting.  The lights were off and only skylights were letting the sun shine in so it's a lil funky. =)   We tried 2 salads, 3 entrees & bread with spread =)

Sourdough Bread with Olive Tapenade  Absolutely delicious!!! LOVE their Tapenade =)  A great start to an amazing meal =)

As a surprise we're also going to have Chilean Bread "Pan Amasado".  My Mom is going to trip when she sees it =)

Mediterraneo Caesar Salad  Hearts of Romaine Topped with Pecorino Dressing, Crostini, and Parmagiano Shavings

This was also delicious.  They make the dressing fresh on site and it was a lil too "anchovy-ie" for my taste, but it was still good =)

Panzanella  Marinated Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Olives, Red Onions, Fresh Burrata with Rustic Croutons in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Fresh Basil, and White Balsamic Vinegar

This salad was awesome and soooooo pretty!  It was like a fuschia explosion on the plate!  The pix def do not do it justice =)  I wasn't crazy about the Burrata Cheese...but then again I'm not a big cheese person.  Other than that it was AMAZING!!! =)

Salmon Organico  Pan Roasted New Zealand Salmon Filet with Swiss Chard, Bacon, Israeli Couscous and Roasted Tomatoes

Kristeen & the FI thought it was delicious!!!!  I on the other hand am not a fan of fish so I wasn't feeling this dish. (hehe it rhymed) =P  But the Israeli Couscous was unbelieveably delicious! =) 

Pollo Arrosto  Free Range Chicken Slow Roasted in our Wood Fire Oven with Herbs de Provence served with Sautéed Baby Spinach, Fingerling Potatoes and Natural Jus
