Earlier in the week we made reservations for dinner at Waxlight Bar 'a Vin on Chandler Street in Black Rock for 6 pm tonight. This restaurant has been on our to do list for since early in the pandemic but we just haven't gotten over there. Finally we did it this evening and we had a wonderful time. The food was amazing and the staff was incredible. We would go there again in a hot minute but realistic how about next week.
We had a wonderful dinner tonight and started out sharing some appetizers. First some Spanish oil cured anchovy toast, English pea coulis and then a couple of pork rillette on crispy brioche, maple vinegar aioli, pickled mustard. We followed that up with an order of summer squash toast, squash blossom ricotta, summer herbs. Everything was amazingly delicious and incredibly put together. We loved it all. Then we shared a main course of barbecue arctic char, crispy potato, oles lettuces, black walnut ketchup. It was wonderful. I couldn't believe how good the potatoes were. Of course we had desert. A bowl of chocolate gelato with cocoa nib caramel.
And then there was the wine. Aside from being a great restaurant this was also an upscale wine bar. We were not looking for bottles but rather wanted to try a few different wines while we were there. Becky was going for the white and I was focused on the reds. Becky first had a French Rose Chateau Trinquevedel, Grenache Blend Rosé, Tavel, Rhone Valley, France '21 and then a German white rose. Me, I had Giovanna Macario, Ruchè, Castagnole, Monferrato, Piemonte, Italy 2021 and then Famille Pupille, Sangiovese Blend, Morellino di Scansano, Tuscany, Italy '21. I was into the Italian reds until the end and then I had a third glass of wine... Chateau du Cèdre, Malbec, Southwest, France 2020. All the wine we had tonight was wonderful.
