Happy Birthday CSR and Farewell CT

Aubergine. I love that word. Aubergine. They say that it is all about the food here and it is. The decor was simple and clean, the service was warm and friendly.



We were treated to a lovely beet amus buche w/a salmon creme and little caviar eggs that popped it in your mouth- great texture.


For the main courses we ordered the beef medallions and the Thai style ostrich. Both were so tender that we didn't need a steak knife. Butter knife anyone?


The main courses were so good that we decided to back track and have some starters. It was definitely not time for dessert. Calamari and fresh green salad.


We enjoyed it with a glass of local bubbly.


We finished off a night of laughter and great food with the chocolate fondant and rhubarb and apple tart. They were nicely paired with a local chenin blanc and port.


Hugs and kisses CT. Happy Birthday CSR.
