Bouchard Restaurant and Inn, Newport

I have to be one of the most spoiled, picky eaters that I know. I have a very refined palate, and I must say that everything at Bouchards was amazing. The atmosphere is cozy and elegant, waiters in tuxedos, crystal everywhere. The service is exquisite and there are daily specials. I went there with my husband on my birthday. We started of with a glass of champagne of course, perrier jouet, I think. I started with escargot in a creamy lemon, garlic, cream sauce with parsely, which was nestled in this deep flaky pastry with a lid, I believe this dish had a chive berre blanc. This dish was so excellant, perfect balance of flavor as well as beautiful to look at. My husband had a cold smokked scallop appatizer which was in a horseradish cheddar sauce with a balsamic rediction and pea shoots. This dish was so surprising on the tounge in a very pleasant way. The scallops were cooked perfectly and everything was seasoned to perfection. These were only our starters, you can only imagine how exquisite our meals were. I highly recomend Bouchard's for anyone looking for a romantic night out, or for a dinner to impress the culinery skeptical. Dress nice.
