We had another spectacular dinner at Boulevard 572 Saturday night. We sat in the comfortable and quiet wine room. Roz, you need to try this place. It’s about 2 blocks before Le Rendez-Vous. This time we ordered the tasting menu, which was $75 for 3 courses plus an excellent amuse bouche of jumbo lump crab & avocado cannelloni with mango & papaya passion fruit vinaigrette.
For appetizers we started off with very flavorful sautéed day boat scallops with green lentil daube, applewood smoked bacon, & celeriac puree, in a caper herb butter. We also had Maine lobster agnolotti, with chanterelles, confit pear tomato, in a sherry lobster froth.
For entrees we both had the certified black angus filet mignon with Danish blue cheese, rosti potato, baby carrots, asparagus, in a red wine reduction.
For dessert we both had the dark chocolate mousse torte with chocolate olive oil cake, fleur de sel, & mascarpone gelato. It went very well with a 10 year old Taylor Fladgate tawny port.
Below are some pictures of a cool light fixture and part of the wine room.
I enjoyed the tasting menu but I think we will stick to the a la carte menu next time.
