I have blogged about this fab place several times before but it bears repeating.
The Lakehouse in Bayshore.
Last night, we dined in the patio/terrace room, instead of our usual spot in the more formal dining room off to the right. The other 2 rooms, which are partially out but screened in & glass enclosed weather permitting. They overlook the fire pit & adirondack chairs outside facing the lake, which is a great spot for drinks first or dessert after dinner.
The muse bouche is always a fun little surprise when we first sit down. The breads are always outstanding with crusty sourdough, or french baguettes or rosemary scented whole wheat rolls.
We opted for a few apps for the table- the lemon scented fettuccini w/ shrimp & sweet corn was wonderfully rich and so delicious. We also has the vegetable salad, which is sauteed woody forest wild mushrooms, a slice of cambazola cheese over baby arugula, a poached baby quail egg and fresh blanched asparagus spears , all served with two slices of brioche toast triangles, and then the crispy suckling pig, which comes as a slice of brick style rectangle with pulled pork in the center and the crispy skin on top- just incredible!
Dinner was sensational- the black fish over smashed truffle potatoes & sauteed leeks in a frothy bubbly broth was mouth watering!
The duck two ways was cooked to perfection, with thick slices of duck breast & the confit of duck leg, served in a swirl of raspberry sauce & grand marnier drizzle. Yum.
Desserts- wow ! The Valrona chocolate souffle with pure vanilla ice cream was soooo good, as was the raspberry creme brulee with a surprise of chocolate on the bottom! We wanted them all- the marscapone cheesecake, the pistachio ice cream sundae, the pear & almond torte- aaaahhh Another time.
In a few weeks, Sunday Jazz brunch!!!
