My wife and I celebrated our 33rd Anniversary this week. Hurricane Debby forced us to stay at home on Thursday (8/8), the actual date of our wedding (in Beaufort), but we scheduled dinner Saturday night at 1703 in Winston-Salem (1703restaurant.com). This is an exceptionally attractive restaurant, a true white tablecloth experience, with additional patio seating in a large shaded area adjacent. (I consider that patio to be one of the two most attractive outdoor seating areas in the Triad.)
My wife started with a cocktail- this is a gin, lime, soda concoction
with fresh rosemary peeking out. Really refreshing on a summer evening.
First course was Chanterelle Pate.
Chef Curtis Hackaday is a certified forager.
Always order a mushroom dish here!
Because it's summer, and simply because the description was so inviting,
Dale ordered Watermelon and Jumbo Lump Crab Salad for her main course.
This is dressed in a delightful Lemon Honey Poppyseed Vinaigrette,
augmented with feta cheese and almonds.
I am not as disciplined as she is.
I got Lamb Two Ways- three chops joined by merguez sausage-
hearty and robust, enhanced with Walnut Dill Labneh,
which is a cheese made from strained yogurt.
