My wife and I went to Rainbow lodge with friends for Houston Reaturant weeks. It was great as always. I started with the fried green tomatoes stacker. It was good the tomatoes were cut about 3/4" thick and fried well. My wife started with the duck gumbo which was outstanding as always. Her main course was the coffee rubbed venison. I didn't order the vinison because I was afraid the coffee flavor would be too strong, however it was amazing I could not taste the coffee at all. It came with a side of mashed sweet potatoes that were outstanding as well. She ordered it medium and it came aou more what I would call medium rare. So adjust your order accordingly. I had the redfish with corn and field pea sucotash. The fish was good but the sucotash was the star. Just slightly sweet I could have eaten it all night. My wife had the bread pudding for desert and it was great as always. The icecream comes on the side in a tweedle bowl that gives a great brulee taste to the dish. Among our table we ordered all the deserts and the bread pudding was at least 2X the size of any other option, and I would not have called any of then small. I had the chochlate and peach mousse. We were not sure about the flavor combination. But it turned out great if you are a dark chochlate fan (which I am). It also had two sauces on the side which I dont know what were but they tasted great. One was peachish the other was key limeish and had what I thought were toasted hops which should be used in more dishes. Our friend also ordered the icebox pie which came with a blueberry compote that was great.
