Aunt Zozo made Ern a nice sweater with an airplane on it. His birthday party is going to be travel themed.
Grams Linda is still in town so we took the opportunity to escape the house and go to a fancy restaurant.
"SURRELL by Chef Aaron Tekulve is a restaurant focused on some of the best hospitality you will find showcasing seasonal modern Pacific Northwest cuisine and Washington wine. Our weekly menus highlight the variety of Washington's terroir, from the bounty of Puget Sound and fertile farmland of the Cascades to eastern orchards and vineyards. We boast an exclusively-Washington wine list and pairing that highlights the masters and innovators of the local wine industry. Through Aaron’s Modern Pacific Northwest cuisine we showcase a 11-12 course tasting menu, a 5 course pre fixe menu and a wine bar. Our dining areas reflect our warm, comfortable approach to service and hospitality. Seating is available inside our hundred-year-old new century Victorian home, at our six-seat chef’s counter, and on our outdoor garden patio (covered and heated)."
The meal started with a poem and a flower arrangement made by the chef's mom.
Ain't no party like a Schaeffer party cuz a Schaeffer party don't stop.
We got a table right next to the kitchen which was fun because we could watch all the crazy precision of crafting the plates. We got to have nice little conversations with the staff between courses as well. The chef explained the dishes to us personally which was a nice touch.
truffed up
One of the desserts was a little cotton candy on a stick situation.
There was a welcome drink which was nice then a goodbye drink which is unheard of. I think we got to choose either a little coffee or a little tea.
We also got a little box to take home with literature about the meal and the restaurant along with a baked good.
Pretty nice joint.
