Restaurant Forte

Near the end of March, I had the opportunity to take my dad to Lorien's culinary school restaurant: 

Restaurant Forte.

It's the restaurant the culinary students run during their last semester before their internships.  You pay $25 to have a fancy 5-6 course meal & it's AMAZING.

The bread course had all sorts of different breads.  I loved the biscuits.  They were so buttery & wonderful.

Isn't my dad a cutie patootie?

We had a little starter as well.  It was a delicious pork & shrimp eggroll in sweet chili sauce.  It was INCREDIBLE.

For my appetizer I got the meatballs which were delicious. . .

and my dad got the burnt ends with root beer bbq sauce.  His was spectacular.  He definitely picked the best appetizer.

For my salad I got the caprese salad which was amazing.

and my dad enjoyed the Lobster Bisque soup.

My dad's main dish was the roasted chicken.  It was beautiful & SO tender.

I got the salmon & let me tell you, the celery root mash was my favorite part of the entire meal.  Who know celery mash could be so good & flavorful?  The sauces were amazing on the salmon & mash as well.

I got the cazookie for dessert.  It was a giant cookie with homemade ice cream & a large toffee chip on top with a side of hot melted chocolate & fresh fruit.

My dad got a wonderful pineapple upside down cake with some sort of sweet coconut sauce to pour on top. 

The entire meal was spectacular.  $25!!!  It was the best date ever.
