I wish I had pics of it all since it looked so nice. I had dinner at Meritage in Philadelphia, nice little place at 20th & Lombard.
I started off with a martini made with orange Stoli and fresh squeezed orange and lemon juice, probably a dash or two of something else...very clean, smooth and tasty.
Next were two Korean short rib tacos on soft flour tortilla, topped with braised short rib, spicy Korean chili sauce and kimchi.
Then I had cauliflower soup with roasted cauliflower florets, curry oil and frizzled mint...I love cauliflower.
For the "large plate" I had pan-seared scallops with shortrib ravioli, oyster mushrooms, and baby spinach. I made sure each bite of the medium-rare scallops took a long deep dive into the very tasty light broth/sauce. I was the lifeguard, but I ate the victims.
For dessert I had a nice glass of Mondavi Moscato d'Oro...it made me feel like I was sipping the nectar of the gods, a dry, barely sweet muscat blanc grape dessert wine. It matched perfectly to the chocolate fight that unexpectedly developed at my table.
