When I think of Corbett's, I always want to share a food story.
It was my 40th Birthday and my friends wanted to treat me to lunch. That was a no-brainer for me- the three course fix-prixe at Corbett's.
Everything was perfect, but the soup still remains one of my all-time favorite dishes.
Vichysoisse- chilled potato leek soup. Perfect in late August. Theirs was exceptional, refined but had some tooth to it, garnished with a scented Olive Oil.
When you looked at it on the table, that dish matched the decor. White with some beige drizzles. I forget the exact wine I paired it with, but it probably was an Old World white from the neighborhood. Sancerre or Vouvray or the like.
The service was outstanding. Troy stopped by and chatted with us for a bit on top of the captain just being easy like Sunday morning. Enjoying Gayle and Tom and my Mom- three of my favorite people made it more special for me.
We even took a cheese plate and dessert wines at the end. Yum!
That was the best 40th Birthday Celebration.
I still can't get over that bowl of soup!
