A Wedding Feast

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Tonight was a very exciting night!

Adam and I went to our wedding venue to finalize numbers, the menu, and make a payment and all of a sudden, its REAL… we’re getting married 2 weeks from tomorrow!!!

One of the best things about our venue (besides the fact that its GORGEOUS) is that their food is stellar. In fact, last year when we booked, we were asked to have our food tasting before we even signed a contract because they pride themselves on how wonderful the food is. Even at the wedding reception, each dinner is cooked to order, and guests get a choice THAT NIGHT of what they want to eat. There’s a restaurant attached to our venue as well, and we decided tonight to treat ourselves to a wedding feast (since we hear that the bride and groom don’t really get to eat much the night of their wedding!)

Each and every item at the restaurant is house made from the bread, to the pasta, to all the soups, salad dressings, and sauces. There was tomato-topped focaccia and fresh Italian bread on the table, set to be enjoyed with herb-infused olive oil and parmesan cheese:

Then, we got steamed crab claws in a basil-white wine broth

Next was a mixed greens salad with a white balsamic viniagrette

My entree was quite possibly the best steak I’ve ever had. It was a bone-in filet with an herb sauce, potato croquettes, and steamed baby bok choy:

Adam got a bowl of house-made rigatoni with tomato-vodka sauce, topped with some absolutely enormous, lobsteresque shrimp… unfortunately, I couldn’t get a good picture of it… Last, but certainly not least, we got coffee and shared a piece of carrot cake. It came out with a surprise on it!

The ambiance made for a very romantic (albeit early) evening

We took a romantic stroll around Best Buy after dinner where I searched for a new camera case (any suggestions???) and we’re now home relaxing. Tomorrow night is my bachelorette party, but never fear! It will still be Cute Food Saturday!

Have a wonderful Friday night everyone!
