This Weekend's Prix Fixe Menu

Each weekend Executive Chef J. Russell Bradshaw, C.E.C. and Executive Sous Chef Pete McKinney put together a new and innovative prix fixe menu. Wine Manager Don Elsing then pairs a selection of fine wines to go with the meal. This weekend the menu is: Grilled Romaine with cucumber pearls, grape tomatoes, bleu cheese crumbles, toasted Macadamia nuts and fresh blueberries with a balsamic reduction blood orange vinaigrette. The wine pairing is a 3 ounce pour of the Columbia Valley Goose Ridge Riesling 2007. The second course is a Sauteed Blue Nose Snapper with grapefruit marmalade, carrot and pea puree and an endive and mushroom ragout paired with a 3 ounce pour of the 2007 Columbia Valley Townshend Sauvignon Blanc. The next course is a Roasted Duck Breast with spaghetti squash and brown sugar smoked corn hash and a blueberry Bordelaise sauce. This is paired with a 6 ounce glass of the Willamette Valley 2008 Lachini Vineyards Estate Grown "S" Pinot Noir. This is all topped off with a Trio of House Made Sorbets. Price is $63 plus tax and gratuity for the dinner only or $85 ++ with the wine flight. Make your reservations by calling 509 996 4707. Bon Appetit!
