So here's the continuation from the lunch menu review. The Dinner menu is executed by "Chef Dan" who is the executive Chef for the Double Tree by Hilton. Many of the same characteristics apply such as the daily specials and the seasonal menu changes.
I began with an appetizer of Crab stuffed mushrooms shown above which was lovely. Large chunks of crab permeate the dish with perfect seasoning and plating. A well executed start to any good evening. The flavors are precisely what you'd expect from this dish.
I moved onto the Chef's special which was an amazing take on chicken & collard greens. Served with succotash and three cheese macaroni, the was a perfectly cooked stuffed chicken breast. The chicken was coated in a lightly seasoned breading and stuffed with collards, served atop a puree of sweet potato. The succotash was thoughtfully seasoned preserving the natural brilliance of the fresh ingredients and the mac was everything you'd expect mac to be! This was an excellent expression of a classic soul food dish reworked for the modern day!
Now we proceed to pure indulgence! Desert was a Ghirardelli Chocolate Brownie with salted caramel & pretzel ice-cream and bananas foster. It was so good I forgot for a moment that I was reviewing and started eating it before taking a picture for the blog! If I describe it to you you're going to drop everything and go get one so I'll leave this one to your imagination.
If you're looking for a night cap to finish it all off bartender Dan (not to be confused with Chef Dan) has created a full menu of unique drinks among which is the above shown Cherry Old-fashion with a Cherry infused ice ball.
Again top marks for Cheer's American Bistro both night and day!
