But.....original anniversary plans went awry. So....we decided to celebrate locally----in our zip code. Around the corner. Convenient. Yet, a new culinary adventure.
Though we missed being with our friends, the "new" place turned out to be a delicious alternative. Southward has only been open a week but.....the chef knows his way around the kitchen. "Southward--Onward" is my take on it.
My halibut was the best I've ever had but my favorite thing on the plate, and it was all good, was the field pea cakes! Oh, my! Hubby's steak and shrimp risotto were also tasty and I ate off of his salad wedge topped with all kinds of goodies along with the Benton smoked ham. Too full for dessert.... though the unusual banana split was pretty tempting.
Though a negative complication necessitated a change, certainly the "fare" alternative was a positive for this anniversary couple.
