Another wonderful dinner experience. Chef Millard is a one man kitchen with a young dishwasher/helper and two waitstaff and he works his a$$ off, let me tell you. but what a great job he does.

Roy had for a starter:
Pine Nut Crusted Boneless Breast of Quail, Baby Kale and Piquillo pepper pesto

then Blackened Australian Lamb Chop, Grilled Andouille Sauage, Crayfish Grits w/creole sauce

I had for a starter:
Panko Crusted Soft Shell Crab, Yucca Fries with Chive Aioli

and Grilled Filet Mignon, Sweet Potato Mash and Chipotle Butter

I've never had Yuca fries before and they are wonderful!! Will be looking for it from now on.

then we split Apple Spice cake with caramel sauce

what a gracious host the chef was, he came out a couple times to make sure we were doing alright and was just delightful.

I sure would have loved to have had them, Bill! But, you're right - where would we have sneaked them in???? I'm going to get some.

Wow, that's pretty amazing that the chef can put out meals like that and have them all come out still warm. Everything looks great, but I sure have my eye on that quail. Never thought to try yucca fries before, but I will now.
