Flora

Adam and I checked out Flora in Arlington last night for dinner since we had a gift certificate we wanted to use. They had a Restaurant Week menu which was fun so we each ordered an appetizer, entree and dessert. Here's the wrapup on the various dish "battles"

Menu:

Calamari: fried calamari, watercress, pickled onions and peppers, basil
Chowder: sweet corn leek and bacon chowder

Chicken: pan-roasted Giannone chicken with whipped potatoes, roasted garlic, rosemary gravy
Scallops: George's Bank jumbo sea scallops with ratatouille, basil oil and lemon

Cobbler: blueberry cobbler with toasted almond ice cream
Bread Pudding: ginger peach bread pudding

Preliminary Round:

Chowder vs. Calamari....Chowder WINS!
Chicken vs. Scallops...Chicken WINS!
Bread Pudding vs. Cobbler...TIED!

Final Round:
Chowder vs. Chicken...TIED!

I voted for the Chowder, Adam voted for the Chicken. All in all a good meal and plus we got to spend down our gift certificate which always makes me happy.
