We of course needed a refreshment~
I asked for the special table~
Looking out at the water~
The lake is starting to melt..the sky was blue..and with the camera you can see clear to the other side~
It's like Carmel~By~The~Sea:)(Kidding Jain:) )
This resto is the faculty club as I mentioned..It's a University but houses a college too..I was one of the first yr grads there..in the 70's..as you walk out of the resto and look across the street some of the on campus housing for professors..is right there..I like the 70's look of this pic.. (Pioneer Woman) I don't have PS CS2 so this is as far as I get..
The college itself..the old building..is beautiful..
Next time I will drive up and take a pic!
The inside is quite faculty clubbbish.. tasteful..I like all the wood..We eat in a sunroom/dining room with windows all around overlooking the water..
The food was as good as last time.. We had the escargots again..Jacques had rack of pork~
With veggies and mushroom sauce..
I had the Napoleon of Fennel and Eggplant w/ salad.
Jacques had the Profitéroles for dessert and I succumbed again..
To the crunch of the beautiful maple syrup CB..
It is just so perfect..
Everyone was as nice as can be.. We had a lovely time..If you look closely enough..you will see our wonderful chef..my daughter's MIL..
As we drove past the front..Jacques said..look there she is in the kitchen..she saw us wave and opened he window with a big smile to wave goodbye..the stone..the blue..the way she looks and her name.. of course reminded me of France..right here.
A perfect day for J.

But the place looked warm and comforting! :)
I love those old Club style dining rooms. Comfort!!
ReplyDeleteBoth your dinners look great, but it is Jacques Rack of Pork with a mushroom sauce and that lovely mound of mashed potatoes that is calling my name.
