Tonight Josh and I had dinner at the Whale's Rib Tavern at the Pilgrim's Inn, where we are staying. We had made dinner reservations (when we booked our room months ago) out of convenience more than anything. However, after eating in the Tavern tonight, Josh and I immediately made reservations for tomorrow night as well. Without even trying other restaurants on the island, we would be absolutely stupid for NOT having dinner here one more time.
The chef, Kris Burrin, prepared some amazing dishes for us this evening. An Englishman with classical French training, Burrin is definitely one of the most amazing chefs we've had the pleasure of "meeting".
For starters we had a cilantro spiced cornbread, a seasoned olive medley, and a tuna carpaccio salad with almonds, tomatoes and a pesto dressing. All three were absolutely amazing and paired nicely with the Prosecco we were drinking.
The main course for Josh consisted of a rib eye steak, hand cut french fries and green beans. I, however, opted for the special: Chicken Maghai? Ah hell. I can't remember what it was called. But it was an amazing curry dish with a spicy flavor explosion served alongside basamati rice and naan. Hands down my favorite meal of the entire trip!
Unfortunately we were too full for dessert, but will not make that mistake tomrorow night.
