Dinner at Taste Kitchen Restaurant

Cheese Platter -- served as a first course.

Last week we tried a local restaurant that was new to us, Taste Kitchen. It's been in a convenient location downtown for several years, but we do not eat out much here -- we wait for times when we are on vacation. 

The chef is from Vietnam via French cuisine training, meaning that the food seems very well flavored. Service was excellent. Many of the menu items are locally sourced, but where appropriate the materials come from elsewhere. We enjoyed every dish. The only exception: the fois gras was served with a very sweet cake and sweet sauce, which I found a bit overwhelming.

Salmon Sashimi.

Seared Scallops.

Duck Fois Gras (ultra sweet preparation).  

Chocolate Squares.

Coffee-flavored Creme Brulée.

The two of us: celebrating our anniversary.
