For dinner, we went to Thistle –
while it may be small in table numbers and Spartan in design, it is memorable , this is a great restaurant. We got a table for two near the menu, which is a the black board on the wall, and proceeded to order from the cocktail list while we decided on starter and entrees.
Emily, our server was friendly and prompt.
Janeen started off with the field greens salad with preserved lemon, filberts and goat cheese and I had the Summer Squash with carrots& creamy herb dressing.
This we paired with some rosé bubbles from Portugal.
For our main Janeen had the Albacore with artichoke, olive and remoluade while I had
Rabbit shank with potato, salsa verde and fava greens. This was paired with a lovely Vouvray Everything was delicious – and while I haven’t had rabbit more then a couple dozen times, this ranked right up there as the best. Janeen’s comment about the Albacore was she wished she know how to make it as great as she was tasting.
We passed on dessert and talk a walk around the block before heading back to our cottage.
