Roth Hall--you'll find the Hospitality Office, American Bounty Restaurant, Apple Pie Bakery Cafe, Bocuse Restaurant & Bookstore here.
Beautiful buildings and grounds at the CIA. We didn't have time to take the tour at 4 pm but we did walk around by ourselves and found the library. SO different to see cookbooks on the shelves. How fun would it be to go to school there?
Cards at the table with food-related trivia questions.
We chose the 3-course prix fixe lunch menu for $35--you could choose any items on the menu (some had supplements). It's served Tue-Thurs. I chose the Torchon of Foie Gras for my first course--Apricot Compote, Black Plum, Muscat Gel, Candied Marcona Almonds, Brioche. So good and no supplement.
Another of the first course choices--Citrus-Cured Big Eye Tuna--Hearts of Palm, Haricot Verts, Hon-Shimeji Mushrooms, Chilled Basque Tomato Puree.
Olive Oil Poached Halibut--Spinach, Zucchini Blossoms, Ratatouille Coulis. The fish was so well prepared and the flavors were fantastic.
Roasted & Braised Rabbit Variation--Loin & Mustard Braised Leg, Egg Noodles, Tarragon, Peas, Baby Carrots. Loved it! Reminded me of a Rabbit & Mustard dish I still remember from Paris.
Mont Blanc--Chestnut Vermicelli, Pound Cake, Rum, Tangerine Ice Milk. This was quite a presentation with liquid poured over dry ice to create this effect. The chestnut flavor was strong and delicious.
Table-Side Ice Cream & Classic Treats--Vanilla Ice Cream in a Waffle Cone, Pear Clafouti, Canele de Bordeaux, Green Tea-Red Bean & Jasmine Rice Pudding Gateaux, Date Cake with Pecan-Butterscotch Sauce. This is served for 2 or more and has a $5 supplement. This is such a huge dessert that you could probably just eat this for your meal and be okay.
