Excitement brewing

Half dozen please

Gruyere with peaches, fennel, walnuts

Best steak tartare in town

Salmon carpaccio

Oyster gratin (w/curry and cauliflower)

Dinner is my treat this time….Happy birthday to my fiancee! For her birthday she requested to eat the freshest oysters in town, so the decision was easy…the Walrus and the Carpenter.  However there was one caveat she wanted to takeover the order, so I conceded….Hence the guyere with fruit ;)

The dining experience was on point, the oysters were a hit and the other dishes were impressive.  The steak tartare is best in Seattle and the oyster gratin is jammed with flavor.  I can see why the Walrus and the Carpenter gets packed and frequented by the top chef judges.  Outcome - my fiancee was a happy camper and delighted with her birthday dinner.
