#2 -- Thursday, Dinner at Colvin Run Tavern: Fantastic!! The food was great. My appetizer was chicken with “ragout” over puff pastry. My entrée was breaded pan fried flounder with country ham and artichokes and some nameless but yummy sauce. My dessert was a white peach crisp with caramel ice cream. I had also an excellent glass of Riesling to drink. Definitely worth the $40 (meal was $30, wine was $10).
#3 -- Sunday, Brunch at Bistro Bis: Outstanding!! Had a mango mimosa to start. Appetizer was smoked salmon with celeri remoulade, mâche, toast points and fresh dill. Entrée was a Quiche Lorraine with salad panachée. Dessert was an obscenely good classic chocolate tart with dark chocolate raspberry ganache and raspberry coulis. Also definitely worth the money. Turned out well that we had to walk to and from the metro, because we were so full afterwards.
#4 -- Sunday, Dinner at Café Promenade: Clearly bases its regular prices on the fact that it is located in the Mayflower Hotel. Prices are definitely not reflective of quality. Had the crabcake appetizer, the salmon entrée and the opera cake dessert. The crabcake and the salmon definitely could have had more flavor and a more exciting presentation. The opera cake was probably the best part. Also the guy playing guitar up in the balcony was a nice touch. Probably wouldn’t go there again.
