We first start out with the Caesar Salad Served in a Parmesan Basket, then we make the Linguini with Maine Lobster, Caramelized Fennel, Asparagus, Shallots, Purple Basil, and Tomatoes in a Light Spicy Brandy Sauce and finally the Filet Mignon served with Roasted Potatoes, Sautéed Spinach and topped with a Foie Gras and Port Wine Reduction.
