Bryan visits D.C. (finally-YAY!) off to Restaurant Eve Tasting (again) =)

Soooo, I was super excited when my ex-housie from LA, Bryan, was coming to visit me in D.C. FINALLYYYYY---we had been talking about this visit for awhile and he finally booked his trip seeing that we're leaving D.C. soon LOL

 

I have to say, he was one of the best housemates I've ever had...seriously, where can you find a guy to go watch Twilight movies, Gilmore Girls, One Tree Hill and also eat random things like Chocolate Souffle from Mortons or Furaibo at random hours whenever you have a craving for it?!!

 

I must say, together, it was very bad for our wallets and possibly health as we ate and shopped our way thru the 1 year we lived together LOL...I miss you Bryan!!!

So of course, when Bryan came, we promised we'd send him back full and happy from culinary delights...hopefully we did not fail :)

Our first night, we all dined at Restaurant Eve in Old Towne Alexandria...a "tasting menu" favorite for us in the D.C. area:

 

Note--I apologize in advance, we lost the tasting menu for this meal and I cannot remember the name of the dishes or all the garnish and sauce details for each plate either! =X

I really like the place settings at Restaurant Eve, I know I took a picture of this last time too haha 

 

 

Compliments of the Chef--Mini Deviled Egg, Salmon Mousse on Toast and something else which I cannot remember--sorry!!

 

Soft Shell Crab with Dijon Creme Sauce--YUMMY, I LOVE soft shell crab in general, even Peter liked this and he's usually not a huge soft shell crab fan :) 

Fruit Sorbet--Palate Cleanser... 

 

Tuna Sashimi--this was also delicious and very smooth...

 

 

Fried Chicken and Waffle--reminded me of our "Roscoe's Chicken and Waffle" Days in LA...I thought this was a pretty innovative and cool take on that 

Ravioli with Goat Cheese and English Peas and Parmesan Crust--I actually remembered this being very creamy and tasty, I liked it a lot, and the English pea pods were crunchy and full of flavor! 

 

 

Artic Char--loved the crunchy skin finish and melt in your mouth--very similar to salmon--taste of Arctic Char! 

 

 

I THINK this is the Panfried Veal Sweet Breads--but I recall Peter not loving this dish despite him being a fan of veal sweet breads usually...

 

 

Roasted Loin of Venison--was not such a fan of this--I don't like gamey meats, I think Peter ate his and mineLOL 

 

 

This time we forgot to request the sampler of cheeses which we had last time, we got a Blue Cheese here and did not love it, found it too salty overall...poopy 

 

 

This is a delicious berry compote with creme fraiche I think, it was very yummy and perfect for a fruity dessert lover like myself! :) 

 
 

 

This is a blackberry with panna cotta (LOVE) dessert 

 

 

I think this was Bryan's chocolate dessert, though I cannot recall now LOL...he loved it tho, whatever this is called 

 

We're all in a very serious food coma at this point, ready to be rolled out and into bed!! 

PZ--Burberry Vintage Polo in Dark Purple

Me--Phillip Lim Rosette Tee Dress (LOVE this piece) and Chanel Charms necklace

Bryan--Ted Baker blue dress shirt (I think--we picked it out together, but can't remember if this is Ted Baker or Pink)
 

 
 

Me--Phillip Lim Rosette Tee Dress, Balmain crystal rhinestone gladiator heels, Louis Vuitton Monogram Croquette Clutch in Hot Pink, Chanel charms necklace
