The Current

February23

I’ve been for many business meetings at The Inn at the Forks but never had a chance to dine at The Current. Last night was my first opportunity. I am a rock and stone collector and am soothed any time I am around water and so I was quite taken by the decor of the hotel lobby and the restaurant.

Chris was our waiter and although he was busy, he was very attentive. The evening started with the delivery of an Amuse Bouche (a delightful taste) which was resembled a steak tartare on a crostini topped with a grate of Parmesan. But this description does not do it any justice because the two and a half little bites were divine!

We then shared the Scallop appetizer which was succulent and gone too soon.

Awaiting the entree we had some time to gaze out the window where we sat and enjoy the comings and goings at The Forks. There were many families there for the evening to skate on the central rink or along the world’s longest skating path. There was a soft snow falling and it was a glistening night.

Pork Rack

I’m glad that my husband chose the trout because I need help with the stuffed pork loin. Even with his assistance, I still had enough to make a huge sandwich for lunch today.

We lingered long enough over coffee that we could fit in one more bite and Chris’s assistant helpfully suggested the Lava cake. Even though I think Sister #2 does a better job of the cake itself-the homemade peanut butter ice cream that it came with was rich and wonderful.
