North Pond Loveliness

Oh what a night at North Pond. The ambiance, even the rainy weather was nice but Ohhhh the food! Yes it's uber expensive but well worth it for a special occasion (like Mom's birthday). Oh and the dog felt a little left out and ate the menu when we got home...nice! Anyway the food was fantastic, we did the 5 course tasting menu with a couple chef's additions so 7 courses that completely stuffed with goodness by the end.

course 1: Tuna Pineapple, this was Salmon tartare, tuna crudo (marinated raw tuna) and some pineapple sweetness

course 2: Mushroom Asparagus...Wild Mushroom Flan! with an asparagus glaze- A..MAZ..ING

course 3: Lobster Mint, Mandarin poached lobster tail, Cauliflower couscous

course 4: Lamb Artichokes, Grilled Herbed Rack, Braised Pave (the side garnish was unanimously a winner, I think from reading the menu now it was the smoked Tomato with apricot but no one was quite sure. We just knew it was good).

course 5: Mango Raspberry, White chocolate enrobed Mango Mousse

Pure Deliciousness, need I say more?
