Artist Point - Saturday September 9th
I thought the atmosphere here was quite nice. It was very quiet and open. We started with the Crispy Venison Spring Rolls with hot sweet and sour sauce. BUT, alas, I forgot to take a picture. We got two rolls, and the presentation was lacking... so I think I didn't think to take a picture. It was just the rolls on the plate.
The rolls were okay. The vension was very "thick". I'm not sure how else to describe it, and they didn't have much flavour. I liked the hot sweet and sour sauce that came with it though!
For my main meal, I chose the Signature Plate of Cedar Plank Roasted Wild King Salmon with Summer Vegetables, Herb Dumplings and Sage Brown Butter Vinaigrette:
It was NOT good. The salmon was almost dry, and it had NO flavour. I used the butter from the bread, and it made it a bit better, but not much. There weren't very many veggies or dumplings either, so I was disappointed. I was glad I was on the free Dining Plan, and didn't really pay $32 for the salmon!
My Mom had the Hatfield Pork Chop on Tillamook Cheddar Mac & Cheese with Maytag Crust:
It was better than the salmon. The meat was a bit overcooked, but it had a nice flavour. The macaroni and cheese was the best part!
I've decided that I have a weird quality about me... I tend to pick the more expensive restaurants, but all I want are the mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese dishes!
For dessert we chose the Valrhona Chocolate Truffle Cake with Soarin' Honey-Blood Orange Coulis:
We were a little hesitant about the coulis... I don't love fruit and chocolate together, so the waitress put it on the side for us. The cake was very good! The coulis was nice too, but I was glad they were separate. The cake was rich, but it was good.
Overall, I was glad that we went, since we were staying at the WL, but I wouldn't go back soon. There are too many other places to try!! Our server was excellent though, and I did like the restaurant itself.
