After receiving their email last week regarding their New Year's Eve specials of Rack of elk entree, and bee sting cake dessert, I knew my New Year's Eve plans had been made.
Dinner started off with a nice bowl of French Onion Soup. Very savory with all the components of a good French Onion Soup. I appreciated that its' size was not enormous, just enough for a good starter.
The elk was beautifully plated on a bed of spaetzle that had roasted carrots and wild mushrooms garnished with BlackBerry brandy foam. While the elk was properly cooked to a medium rare, the inherent muscular nature of the elk made a sharp knife a necessity. The true genius was in the spaetzle/carrot/mushroom base. It caught the taste of the elk and brandy foam.
Dessert was very good. Having never had bee sting cake before, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm sure Maders was a perfect representation. Massive amounts of nuts and honey were represented.
It was a dinner fitting for bringing in a new decade!!!!
