The ultra cool, ultra trendy Dream Downtown Hotel. Its one of the new "it" places to be in town. I recently went to the amazing steak join, Marble Lane, inside the hotel. Let me just start by saying that this was my favorite place I've been to here by far.
We had reservations for 10pm so the night crowd was just beginning to come out so it was a lot of fun. The lighting was great, but the music was even better. The lobby DJ was playing some of the best songs, and even threw in a Robyn track. It was a mix between a night club, lounge, and restaurant- perfection in my eyes.
Needless to say, the food was amazing. We started off with a drink called the "wet dream". It was a mix of blueberry vodka and citrus flavors. Very good and quite strong i might add :).
For an appetizer, I did the tender bibb salad which consisted of bibb lettuce, maytab blue, and cherrywood bacon. A good starter.
For an entree, I went with the olive crusted salmon with flageolet beans and tomato in a fennel broth. It was excellent.
Finally, dessert consisted of pumpkin cheesecake. I hadnt had cheesecake in such a long time so it was extra good. It had spiced pepitas and pumpkin seed oil. A very good ending.
Like I said, this has by far been my favorite place I've been to. If you get the chance to go, go! There may even be a trip back here in the very near future...like this weekend :)
The salmon sounds delicious, and pumpkin cheesecake... perfect end to a meal!
