\"Chef's<\/p>\n

In planning our marathon weekend trip, I knew we would want to celebrate somewhere special.\u00a0 After much thought, I settled on the Chef\u2019s Table at the Flying Fish<\/a> with Wine Pairing.\u00a0 My husband and I both love seafood and wine, so this seemed perfect.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While I would not suggest doing this after running 26.2 miles, it was a fabulous experience.\u00a0 It didn\u2019t occur to me that we would be famished and that a buffet probably would have been more appropriate.\u00a0 Nonetheless, we enjoyed the experience.<\/p>\n

As I said, we both ran the marathon and I made the reservation for that evening.\u00a0 We were pretty sore, so getting mobile again after laying down and resting was a little painful, but it was probably for the best.\u00a0 We also didn\u2019t want to eat too much after the race because we were saving ourselves for the dinner.\u00a0 So, it looked like this: wake up at 3:00 a.m., begin running 26.2 miles at 6:00 a.m., eat a bunch of energy gels, bars and bananas during the race, finish by 1:00 p.m., back to resort to rest and be at Flying Fish by 515 p.m.\u00a0 We were DRAGGING, both from being hungry and tired.<\/p>\n

We checked in and went to the bar, where we met the sommelier.\u00a0 She was from Ireland and absolutely fantastic.\u00a0 We chatted with her and the bartender for a while before going over to the Chef\u2019s Table, and we really enjoyed the conversation.\u00a0 Once seated at the Chef\u2019s Table, we were presented with a personalized menu and began with our first glass of wine.\u00a0 She was well versed in each and every wine and took the time to answer any questions you had.\u00a0 After each wine was poured, a matching course was delivered to the table.\u00a0 Again, the presentation and description of the food was spot on.\u00a0 We were given all the details about the ingredients in each dish and where they came from.\u00a0 Everything was so amazingly fresh!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Wine<\/p>\n

Wine Setting<\/em><\/p>\n

Our favorite foods were the Vermont Butter-basted Maine lobster and the Pepperberry, Rosemary & Thyme-scented Waygu Beef Tenderloin.\u00a0 We were pleased to see a wine from a region in California that we had previously visited last summer, Paso Robles.\u00a0 We loved the wine from that area.\u00a0 Indeed, this offering brought us right back to those warm, rolling hills of the Central Coast in California.\u00a0 They also featured wines from Sonoma, Spain, France and New Mexico.<\/p>\n

\"Main<\/p>\n

All in all, it was a great experience.\u00a0 I would say it\u2019s a great alternative to Victoria and Albert’s.\u00a0 Personally, we found this experience to be very comfortable for us.\u00a0 It is definitely a cheaper alternative and not quite as formal either.\u00a0 It seemed to be just the right amount of courses.\u00a0 Although, the hubby decided he wanted an order of calamari to go.\u00a0 I would go back and do this experience in a heartbeat for a special celebration, just not after running a marathon.<\/p>\n

\"Dessert\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dessert: Coconut Torta, Mango-Passion Fruit- Cilantro Coulis and Tropical Fruits Salade<\/em><\/p>\n

The restaurant is currently down for a refurbishment, but will reopen this fall!<\/p>\n

Have you ever tried Flying Fish? What were your thoughts?<\/em><\/p>\n
