Phillip: Dinner at Four Seasons

Tonight Julie and I had dinner at the Four Seasons restaurant. The hotel is very luxurious with beautiful paintings and artwork in the halls. The waiters were all very friendly and we chatted a bit about the skiing. We started with a glass of sparkling wine and salads. Julie had beet salad with beet sprouts and feta cheese. I had watercress and endive with blue cheese. Then I had an elk T-bone steak which was a bit dry and too much meat for me. The polenta side dish was delicious. Julie had crepes with porcini mushrooms and oxtail; very tasty. For dessert I had a chocolate volcano cake with a fudge filling with a pomegranite sorbet. Julie's passion fruit creme brulee came with a coconut sorbet, which tasted great with with my chocolate cake. Each dish was presented very elegantly with colorful flourishes like the sugar crystal corona in my sorbet and the macadamia tuille which arched over Julie's sorbet. All this elegance and good food is thanks to our friend Nato, who gave us a gift voucher for the dinner. Julie gave him an acupuncture treatment at Mimi's dinner party and he felt so much better the next day, he surprised Julie with dinner at the Four Seasons. Thanks Nato!
