To close out ARW with 'broche de oro' the girls and I decided to catch up and try III Forks. Ish, Brown, and the Venezuelan ordered the French onion soup---they kept OOOing and AAAing, so I guess it was good.
I had the III Forks salad: The typical spring mix with pecans, apples, blue cheese, and a vinaigrette.
Ish and I had the Bacon Wrapped Filet: 6 oz of fantastic, addicting flavors finished with Charon sauce, served with broccolini (can you believe I ate this two nights in a row?) and new potatoes. I could have done without the huge potato on my plate...but the sauce, the tomatoes, the bacon, everything was delicious.Brown chose the Mahi Mahi: marinated in a Ginger Lime Dijon, served with marinated onions, red bell peppers and jasmine rice. It was so flavorful. She described the rice as bland, like 'the kind you get with chinese food', but it truly tasted like jasmine.
Ish and I finished off with the Chocolage ganache cake. It was not mind-blowing, but it did have a little coconut on top... yum!
Brown ordered the Cheesecake, but the Venezuelan ate it (she skipped the main course): Honey cheesecake topped with glaze with a graham cracker crust.
The ambiance is very 'rich country man' : Antler chandeliers, heavy woods, dark leather booths and bar stools...I could just see JR from Dallas sitting there with a scotch in his hand.
not so excited about this one.
