This is the second part to my post about Ambrosia Restaurant *here.
after enjoying the salad, shrimp and French Onion soup, I ordered the lamb chops- creature of habit that I am, I was re-creating my previous wonderful dinner here.
see...it's fancy food
I had a moment of panic, when the salad arrived- because I suddenly could not remember what to do with all of the silver-ware on the table.
yesiree, me and jim-bob don't get out to these fancy eatery's much...
Think Jen, think...do you start at the outside of the dinnerware and work your way in..or do you start at the inside and work your way out?
It worked itself out, because everyone
at the restaurant is very gracious....
Here is my dessert, Creme brulee with raspberries. You know it had to be good, I usually only order chocolate... This was soooo worth every bite.
Philippe is a true artist when it comes to his cooking, here he is putting the flourishing touches on Sky's banana flambee.
Did I tell you that he is French? And he speaks with a French accent? The whole time he was cooking for us, I could hear the song "Be our guests" running in my head...it was just like that, the hospitality, I mean..not the dancing dishes...
His cooking was such a treat, you had to break out in wild applause as he finished. Did I mention that the bananas, after he flambeed them in I don't know what (but is was yummy)-were then placed on top of hand-made Madagascar-vanilla-bean ice-cream? I may never eat a plain ole banana again.
I bet I can talk Sky into going back just for dessert...
