Kate: Four Cheese Fondue, Tilapia Grenoble, and White Chocolate Pecan Bread Pudding
It was Labor Day. I had the day mostly off, and Paul and I knew that we were in for a busy few weeks, so we decided to take ourselves out. Plus, Kristin and Deanna had given me a Millennium Restaurant Groups gift card for my birthday so we could try Fieldstone Grill. AND, to top it all of, it was a Millennium Monday (just like almost every other Monday) where you can get 40% off food at any of the Millennium restaurants with a coupon on their website. We knew it would still be a bit of a splurge, but we knew we deserved it. So, we saved up calories all day for a decadent night out!
Because we had been saving all day, we were HUNGRY when we got there. So, we jumped right in with an appetizer, and went with the four cheese fondue. Smoked mozzarella, Swiss, provolone, and parmesan cheese all in one tasty dip. Served with grilled focaccia bread, this was a great way to start the meal. It was warm and rich, but not too rich. One of those plates that you have to fight yourself to lick clean in the middle of the restaurant. They also serve delicious bread to start you off that was also a great compliment to the dip.
I was really pleased with my entree choice. The tilapia was really fresh and cooked really well. It was flaky and light. It was served on top of a combination of linguini noodles and zucchini straws with a delicious, creamy, lemon butter sauce with capers and parsley. The flavors of all the ingredients came together in a totally delightful way that, again, made me want to lick my plate clean. It was not a heavy dish, well paired. YUM!
And, yes, we did totally splurge on dessert. The white chocolate pecan bread pudding was incredible. Served warm with caramel sauce and whipped cream, it was super rich and decadent in a way that dessert should be. It was an excellent pairing with my lighter meal. I left fully satisfied, but not totally stuffed.
We were also lucky enough to dine at Fieldstone Grill on a sunny day that allowed us to sit on the patio overlooking the field and golf course that sit next to the restaurant. It was, overall, a lovely dining experience. Great food, relaxing and nice atmosphere, exactly what we wanted on this day off!
