Today we spent a lazy day next to the pool. The winds keep it cool. We met a nice couple from Ohio at the pool bar. Before dinner we went over to the RIU Palace Aruba for a drink at their Sports Bar. The bars over there are nicer and have better booze ie. Bombay Sapphire and flavored Absolut.
We got a taxi and headed to Wilhelmina for dinner. We choose the 5 course tasting menu. It was fantastic though it took about 3 hours. It was a good reminder not to do two tasting menu dinner in a row sine we were a little twitchy by the end. We met a fun couple from New Jersey.
The menu was:
Pulled pork bitter ball and fish soup
Homemade pastrami with goat cheese fritters
Halibut with a carrot buerre blanc with herring caviar
Seared scallop with Boston lettuce, seaweed, tarragon butter sauce
Veal chop with vegetables, gnocchi, truffle and mushroom sauce
Chocolate banana trifle with strawberry sauce
The sauces were out of this world.
We also got some recommendations for our next visit: Madame Jeanette, Flying Fishbowl - get the reservation in the water, Ike's Bistro, Screaming Eagle
We tried to go to Bar Salon at the resort when we got back, but we didn't like the duo performing so we headed to bed.
