Tuna Tartare, Passion Fruit Martinis and a Magical Night at Le Colonial, Chicago!
Le Colonial, Chicago is a treat for the senses.
The exotically luxurious atmosphere is the first hint that you are in for something special.
These Passion Fruit Martinis were incredibly fresh and delicious! Floral and fruity yet light and refreshing on a warm summer night.
Tuna Tartare with wonton crisps was light and satisfying and tasted fantastic with our cocktails….round 2!
Romance was in the air so sharing an entree of vermicelli and seafood in coconut curry seemed like the right thing to do!
What put this dish over the top for me were the copious amounts of fresh basil and cilantro; a garnish, I know, but for me a side dish or side salad!
The aroma of fresh herbs and the delicacy of the spicy coconut broth made my tastebuds tingle!
The music, the martinis, the warm summer breeze…
