At the start of this season, we reviewed dinner at Starr Boggs. We were surprised to find the dinner not up to par, but we knew it may have just been opening night jitters. After dinner last week, we were right. Starr Boggs is back and better than ever.
On a recent Thursday night, JB and I were pleasantly surprised to find a completely packed restaurant. Without a reservation, we had assumed we'd be dining at a bar table. And even those were taken. Luckily, we found a spot at the outdoor bar.
In our small town, the bar is always a fun spot since you never know who you might run into. And you benefit from the same quality food, but in a more casual atmosphere.
We had just been to a movie where we couldn't resist the popcorn, so we opted for some appetizers only. We started with a tuna dish that offered two different types: a seared ahi tuna and a tuna tartar. We should have doubled this. JB and I tried to share fairly. It was hard. Both tuna options were excellent, better than any recent sushi we'd had.
To compliment the cool evening, we chose a heartier dish: tagliatelle with truffles. The homemade pasta was excellent, the sauce had a light touch of cream and a heavy touch of truffles. Another win.
In lieu of a third appetizer, JB wanted dessert. The list is long but we settled on the chocolate pecan pie. This is no traditional pecan pie, instead it is more of a chocolate pie adorned with pecans and caramel, plus some vanilla ice cream. A glass of port made the dessert even better.
This was the perfect date night: movies, truffles and dessert.
Until our next Berger,
