Well, we just lost power yet again and are praying.....PEPCO is due any
minute.
Last night it was 0 with the wind chill, so we ate at our hotel where Will
& Samuel had also dined on the first night away when I was in NYC. DISH at
the River Inn is always a treat and last night our server Maram made us fell
like family.
Samuel returned to his Butternut Squash Soup with Roasted Pumpkin Seeds but
here with Pumpkin Seed Oil, which he declared superior to Chez Billy. Will tried
the Roasted Red & Golden Beet Salad with Feta, Arugula, Marinated Onion
& Citrus while I adored the Fried Green Tomatoes. They were prepared
perfectly and some of the best I have ever had with a topping of Arugula and
sitting on a bed of Crème Fraiche with little bacon bits. Superb!
Samuel had two orders of the Duck Confit Spring Roll appetizer but does not
seem to like the Sweet Chili dipping sauce or the Mesclun Salad. Will & I
both chose the Swordfish Special Grlled with a superb Chimichurri Sauce on top
with Garlic Spinach & Rice. A Poppy 2012 Pinot Noir from Monterey, CA was
recommended by Maram and she was spot on with this wine.
Will tried the Apple Beignet with salted caramel ice cream for dessert
saying the ice cream was not very salted but beignet was yummy.
Sadly, while we love Dish and the River Inn, we pray we can stay home
tonight and not checkin for the third time downtown this week!
