We started the night off with a bottle of Andre Tissot “Jr Table,” Cremant Du Jura, N/V, a sparkling wine which was delightfully delicious. The appetizer selection was remarkable; we had difficulty choosing just one. We finally decided to split the sweetbread. As we were waiting for our sweetbread to arrive we were given an adorable little basket of French bread, which was so yummy (I love bread!!). Our friend surprised us with additional appetizer ("anniversary appetizer") that was on special that evening, a tomato salad with whipped goat cheese topping. It was simple yet delicious. The whipped goat cheese really complimented the fresh tomatoes.
Shortly after we finished the tomato salad we received our sweetbread appetizer. The sweetbread is a cow thyroid gland seared in duck fat with mushroom, leak and blue cheese quiche, served with grape compote. This was probably to most unique dish I have tried! The flavors blended together so well and I loved the egg flavor of the quiche.
Once we finished our second appetizer our entrees arrived. D had the three little cochon (three little pigs) which was a mountain of pork belly, ribs and tenderloin. The meat was so tender and juicy. The pork was served with a medley of beans, country potatoes and blue cheese.
For my entrée I chose the Sole. Sole is a mild white fish it was served with a white truffle sauce, carrots, asparagus and thinly sliced potatoes. My dish was excellent! D and I usually choose a "dinner winner" (who had the better dish) but everything was so delectable we couldn't choose just one!
We finished the night with 2 desserts: the honey lime crème brulee and the milk chocolate macadamia nut tart. The crème brulee was phenomenal; it tasted like a rich key lime pie! The macadamia nut tart was also scrumptious it had a sweet chocolaty flavor with macadamia nuts scattered throughout, topped with a macadamia cream.
Our dinning experience at Jean Robert's Table was by far the best we have ever had! The food was superb from the appetizers to the dessert! The service was excellent; every one we encounter was friendly and personable. Our server spaced out each dish perfectly, the evening flowed so well. This was by far the most D and I have ever spent on a dinner but since it was our anniversary we felt the need to splurge a little. We would recommend this restaurant to friends and would return for another special occasion. I could not think of a better place to celebrate our one-year anniversary!!
