Hey all! Welcome back from the weekend. I hope you enjoyed it!

As promised, Saturday’s meal at Vermillion in Old Town. My roommate Anna and I had plans to meet our friend Jimmy for supper and decided to head to the area early to walk around a bit. It was a lovely sunny day and Old Town is just adorable – so I jumped at the chance to soak it in .

We strolled around, shopped a bit and went down to the water. After our walk we enjoyed a beer at a local Irish pub and then headed to Vermillion for supper.

Other than the Fluke, everything you see here was shared among our table. Enjoy this endless stream of pics!

Vino

Celery soup amuse bouche. And how adorable are those tiny beer mugs??

carolina white shrimp – gruyère gnudi, black trumpet mushrooms & sauce “thermidor”

carpaccio of wagyu* – celery root “remoulade,” rye grissini & shaved parmesan cheese

lobster stuffed va fluke – pearl barley “risotto,” lemon, fennel barigoule & shellfish reduction

The desserts we ordered aren’t on the online menu so sadly I can’t give you their proper description. But I’m sure the pics speak for themselves!

Rhubarb cake with marscapone and almond brittle

Goat cheese cheesecake with sour cherries and vanilla bean ice cream. The highlight of the meal for me was absolutely this cheesecake! Tangy goat cheese, sour cherries, sweet, creamy ice cream – die.

Everything was fantastic, start to finish. And I looooved the ambience of the restaurant. Exposed brick walls, candlelight and rows and rows of wine bottles. It was gorgeous! A fab evening of good food and good company. The best way to spend any Saturday .

See you tomorrow!
