I’ve always wanted to try The Blacksmith while I’ve picked up and dropped off riders from there the last 6 months. Everyone has always said they were looking forward to, or really enjoyed their meals. Recently I had the opportunity to dine at The Blacksmith for my parents anniversary dinner.
Appetizers: So we started the night off with a salad selection. I went with the Roasted Beet ($13) Mixed greens tossed in lemon herb vinaigrette aside roasted beats, creamy buttermilk goat cheese and beat emulsion with candied almonds.
Now for anyone who know’s me, i love a good beet salad, and this was a good beet salad that paired very well with the goat cheese and candied almonds. I rexammend this salad for sure.
Main Course: For my Entree i decided on going with the Steak and Fries ($50) New York strip topped with house cut Truffle Parmesan fries and green onions in an herb demi glace. I went with a rare temperature, and was pleased with how it turned out. It didn’t have the best sear on the outside, but had nice grill marks, and the inside was a little more done than rare which was nice. The fries were crispy, and well coated in the demi glace and truffle/parmesan. I have to say, the fries were the more rexcellent part of the meal.
Dessert: When offered dessert, instantly I was hooked when our waitress said they made in house ice cream, and by was I not disappointed. I went with the Ice Cream Trio ($12) Three of our delicious house made ice creams which the current flavors were Vanilla Bean, Chocolate, and Coffee. And what I can I say but all 3 were rich, creamy, and flavorful, but my favorite was the Vanilla Bean, followed by the Coffee. Rexammended for sure.
Overall The Blacksmith lived up to the recommendation tastebud wise, but was a little heavy on the wallet. Although I was a guest in this trip, The Blacksmith looks more like an option for a Client Work Dinner, or a special occasion like an Anniversary, Valentines Day, or Birthday.
