Clayton e Review of Ellerbe Fine Foods

Fantastic meal, great experienced server named Scot, and would recommend Ellerbe for any special night or a night you want to transcend mediocrity. It's a farm to table restaurant meaning the menu changes along with the season, so be sure to check the menu beforehand. We started off with calamari and melted pimento cheese toast appetizers. The calamari was not fried, it was cooked but served chilled with a delicate tangy sauce and a small bed of kale. I loved it but my lady prefers the more common fried versions of the dish. The pimento cheese toast was gooey deliciousness, also served on some with some kale and a light but slightly different sauce. For the main dishes the lady had the halibut and I had the lamb chops. The halibut was very good, clean, healthy and served with some peas. They did the best possible to make something boring pretty tasty. However, my lamb stole the show. It was the best lamb I have ever eaten. It was cooked to perfection, with a delicious seared crust that created an amazing flavor. It was served on a bed of fennel which I don't ordinarily like. However, even the fennel was scrumptious. We couldn't agree on a dessert and really weren't that impressed with the offerings. I'm more of a chocolate cake guy and the lady only likes tiramisu, neither of which were options on the night. Will go back when we are ready to treat our selves again.
