Friday Night Dinner

Flavor's also has a Friday Night Dinner--5 courses with wine pairing for $49.95. The dinner is served family-style and it's a much smaller gathering. On this particular night, there were just 8 of us and we got to have a great conversation while sharing fabulous food and wine.

 

Gateaux De Crabe--Sauteed Dungeness Crab Cakes Served Atop Crispy Pasta Wafers Garnished with Organic Arugula, Pesto and Saffron Aioli served with 2007 Iron Horse Ocean Reserve, Green Valley of Russian River Valley. The crab cakes were full of crab and had little filling--just the way it should be. The aioli was garlicky and delicious.

 

Gnocchi De Patate Douce--Served in Crispy Sage Butter, Roasted Local Organic Mushrooms & Parmigiano-Reggiano served with 2011 Zuivire Sauvignon Blanc from Dry Creek Valley

 

Canard Cannelloni--Pasta Cannelloni Filled with Duck Confit Topped with Garlic Herb Veloute & Bechamel Sauce with 2010 La Follete Pinot Noir, North Coast. This was the best dish of the evening. The pasta was amazing and the La Follette Pinot was delicious. It's so smooth and was a perfect pairing with the pasta.

 

 

Steak Frites--Marinated Flat Iron Steak Served in a Lyonnaise Sauce Garnished with Garlic Pommes Frites and Three Cheese "Pot de Creme" served with 2007 Hall Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley.
