Valentine's Day Dinner - Big Sky Cafe

This Valentines Day, Em and went back to an old favorite for the first time since coming back to town. We had dinner at Big Sky Cafe, the same restaurant we got engaged at. Although they have changed much of the decor since we were last there, and the table we sat at that night is gone, the food was still delicious, the atmosphere unique and the wait staff well trained.


We started with drinks; a perfect Manhattan for me, as usual, and a Valentines day special martini for Em.

I had Blue Crab w/ Fresh Avocado small plate and the Duroc Pork Rib Chop. Both were great, but he highlights were how light the Parmesan and sage bread pudding was and how all of the flavors in the crab dish hit you at different times.

Em had Roasted Golden & Red Beet salad and the Steak and Cake. From all accounts both dishes were superb. Its hard to "beet" a really great crab cake and a perfectly cooked piece of beef tenderloin covered toasted walnut blue cheese butter. :)


We will have to go back sometime for desert. We were both too full at the time, but they had some very interesting ones on the menu.
