Menu Tasting at Old Mill Inn
on June 25th, Alex and I along our two friends - Gloria & Maureen to taste our Menu for the wedding reception.
First of all, my general impression of it was that they were not extraordinary, but it’s acceptable.
The Soup - Caramelized Butternut Squash Soup
For some reason, I don’t think I actually ordered this soup, the one I actually ordered is Sweet Potato & Roasted Pepper Bisque. Anyhow, this soup is not too bad, but it does not impress me as something that cost $6.50. The portion is small. It’s a cup size.
The Salad - Romaine Hearts, Radicchio, Red Oak, Endive & Watercress - with candied Pecans, Gorgonzola Cheese, Sherry - Black Truffle Vinaigrette
I think the Salad is absolutely wonderful. The taste of it is amazing. I just think it need more pecan and cheese.
The Main Course - Oven Roasted Breast of Chicken
Filled with Spinach, Ricotta and Red Pepper with Basil Cabernet Sauce
Medley of Market Fresh Vegetables
Rosemary Roasted Chateau Potatoes
It’s actually too bad when we got the food from them for the tasting, the chicken was abit too dry. I was not very happy that I actually have to talk to the chef and the catering manager to make sure everything is done right. Overcooked chicken? big no no.
The Dessert - Venetian Rhapsody
Chocolate, Hazelnut and Mocha Italian Ice Cream Tower embossed with The Old Mill Crest
Accompanied with Red Wine Berry Compote
Literally, this is just an ice cream but setup a fancy way. This is actually not my ice cream when I got it. This is actually Gloria and Maureen’s ice cream. The one we had has no crest stamped on it, and the ice cream has freezer burn.
So after the food tasting, we immediately address those issue to the Chef and the Catering manager. Especially this 4 course meal is 62 dollar person, then I really want to get them done right.
