9 years part 2

For our 9 year celebration we went to Wink restaurant for fantastic dinner. We both had the 5 course chef's tasting menu. Since the menu changes daily and the link may not tell you what we had, I will go ahead and post that it included 1) amuse-bouche 2) sashimi of kona kampachi on hearts of palm w/ cilantro and chili oil 3) seared dayboat scallop w/ snow peas, salted almond crumble & lemon puree 4) crisp duck breast w/ baby brussel sprouts, maiitakes & beet green gratin (both of our favorites) & 5) grilled hanger steak on sunchokes (not fans of the sunchokes), rapini & oyster mushrooms w/ gorgonzola butter followed by an iberian cheese plate (4 cheeses from regions of Portugal & Spain) For dessert we got the Wink Trio - a sampling of the el rey chocolate cake, creme brulee & lemon meringue pot (also our favorite). Service was excellent. Trey had some red wine that he really liked and I had a little bit of a sweet white wine. It was a big spurlge even with the $25 gift certificate from restaurant.com. Highly recommended for a special night out.
