Wow, what a dinner! I left completely stuffed, but every single bite was well worth it!

All of the food served to us at the Vintage Press was just so delicious– I couldn’t keep my fork down!

I must say, I love dining out with food bloggers– I don’t feel so weird taking photos of everything! šŸ˜‰

The decor inside the Vintage Press is classical and somewhat ornate. I especially loved the bar area!

Of course, I needed a couple of goofy shots, too! šŸ˜‰

Our group was seated at a large table in our own private room. It seemed so fancy!

The restaurant prepared a special menu for the POM Wonderful bloggers. Neat! šŸ˜€

The four-course meal started with passed appetizers.

I tried a couple, but for some reason, the server kept skipping me! But, it actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise because it left a little extra room in my stomach for the upcoming courses! šŸ˜‰

As expected, there was plenty of chatting at the dinner table.

Lovely bloggers!

In the spirit of the POM Harvest Tour, Roni, Caitlin, and I ordered a round of pomtinis. We wanted some antioxidants (and vodka!) in our diets!

They were delish!!! :mrgreen:

The appetizer course was the most amazing Wild Mushroom in Puff Pasty. It might have been my favorite course of the night.Ā The dish was Shimeja mushrooms and shallots in a creamy cognac and tarragon sauce. Holy yum!

I should have paced myself knowing that more courses were to come, but I ended up eating almost the entire appetizer. The mushrooms were so tender– even meaty– and the sauce was divine. Man, it was SO GOOD!

After finishing my pomtini, I switched over to a glass of Chardonnay, which I sipped for the rest of the evening.

The next course was a pear salad with homemade croutons and pomegranate seeds tossed in a balsamic vinegar-olive oil dressing. It was also delicious, and again, I didn’t pace myself well. šŸ˜³

Before the main course was served, Caitlin and I took a minute to post an Operation Beautiful note in the bathroom. šŸ˜€

For the entree, we had a choice of 3 dishes:

  • Stuffed Filet Mignon
  • Pistachio Crusted Salmon
  • Quinoia Cous Cous

All three options sounded wonderful, but I went with the Pistachio Crusted Salmon for the extra Omega 3’s. The salmon was served with sliced red potatoes and a vegetable medley.

I tried a bite or two of everything on my plate, but at this point in the night, I was stuffed!

But, not too stuffed for dessert! šŸ˜‰

Dessert was heavenly! We had a choice of pomegranate sorbet or a Golden Chocolate Pyramid with Espresso Creme Anglaise. Can you guess which option I chose?

The Chocolate Pyramid was incredibly rich and thick. It reminded me of a partially cooked brownie. Mmmmm! I practically licked my plate clean!

After eating such a huge meal, I felt like someone needed to roll me out of the restaurant! But, as a previously mentioned, it was well worth the splurge!
