Restaurant Week 2008: Sibling Rivalry.
Tonight The Husband and I decided to take advantage of it being Restaurant Week and indulged ourselves at one of our favorite neighborhood restaurants... Sibling Rivalry.
We've eaten there a handful of times in the past three years... Usually reserving it for special occasions like anniversaries, New Year's Eve and birthdays. The bill gets quite high when we go, so we're not as inclined to dine there often. But since it's Restaurant Week, we each were entitled to a three-course dinner for $33.08.
Normally, with these special weeks, you usually get kinda of screwed on the variety. There's usually only a few dishes for each course to choose from, and they're usually "hit" or "miss." But not at Sibling Rivalry... They had at least 10 appetizer options and 10 entree options... And for dessert, they even came up with four options.
So there was quite an incredible variety!
They also offered a reasonable priced "wine tasting" to go with the Restaurant Week event, which I ordered along with my three courses. I started with a shrimp scampi with polenta medley... Then I chose some soba noodles with a pork mignon... And I ended with a butterscotch pudding. The Husband went with a lamb dish for starters, the short ribs for dinner and an oatmeal and berry thing for dessert.
Out of everything, the only thing that neither of us really cared for was my pork mignon. It was took dry and had absolutely no flavor... Despite the menu saying there was supposed to be a soy-ginger and anise glaze on it.
So overall, it was a great meal. The starters and the desserts were delicious. And my wine tasting (a white, red and dessert wine) was good as well.
I don't know if there are any spaces left this week to snag an eating time... But if you can, it is so worth it. Sibling Rivalry is definitely a great place to hit up for Restaurant Week.
