Owen took me out to the Painted Boat for my birthday dinner last night. It was fabulous. I should have had my camera. Many of my family, friends, and students have heard me say that "presentation is everything" and in this case, the presentation was not only elegant but the whole meal proved to be right up there in the 'best ever' category. We chose to have our meal with wine paring. Yep, me too! In total the wine paring only amounted to a large glass of wine but gave us a nice 'taste test' variety. But the menu... I started my meal with Rare Albacore Tuna, Warm Prosciutto, Cucumber & Ginger Water, Soya Couscous; moved on to a main course of Roasted Queen Charlotte Halibut, Root Vegetable Fricassee, Shitake Mushrooms, Dashi Broth and completed the meal with Almond Chili Chocolate Torte, Meringue. Delicious! It was a lovely evening and Owen and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would recommend the Painted Boat Restaurant for a complete dining experience on the Sunshine Coast. It has a fabulous view and is fine dining in a casual atmosphere at it's best. hmmm, was this a post about my evening out for my birthday or was it a testimonial for the Painted Boat Restaurant???
