As Restaurant Weeks are almost at a close, I fear that there so many restaurants to experience and not enough time for me to celebrate. And even though it was super cold last night I dragged my hubby out for a some Downtown Dining. I figured I'd try a new place, so last night I went to Market Restaurant . Even though I did my research, and downloaded the participating Restaurant Week menus, I still wasn't 100% stuck on any one place or another. I wasn't sure what to expect, it being a special event, but Market ended up being a great choice. Market offers a 3-part meal. My favorite was the last part, and here's why...
Market was really in the spirit of celebrating this event. I say this because, well, I didn't really have a choice, their menu was ALL about it. Which I loved, actually. It was fun to know that everyone in the room was ordering the same way. Food was being served to others around me. I tried to peek at the table next to me, but I wasn't close enough. No luck there with helping me decide what to choose.
The ordering process was easy. I could choose one item from the left side and an item from the right. Simply, I had the clam chowder and the braised ribs. Okay, I have to admit, it was tasty. I don't usually like to order a meat that falls off the bone, and it was a nice change. It tasted just fine. When done, I figured I'd pass on dessert so I could "weigh in", without feeling too guilty. I thought I was done; dinner over and I'd ask for the check. But here's where the 3rd part of the meal comes in. Much to my surprise, an after-dinner cocktail was included with our 'Restaurant Week Special". Yahoo! It didn't take too long for me to decide: I ordered the Courvoisier, and if I wasn't having a good time before the 3rd part, I certainly was enjoying the evening afterwards. Huge shot. A warm addition to the frigid night. Loved it. P.S. Today, I friended Market on my Facebook. : )
Winter Restaurant Weeks end March 8.
