This evening we had dinner at the specialty restaurant, Tuscan Grill, which specializes in Italian and steaks. The weather wasn't as good tonight and the ship was rocking a lot. Sweet Pea wasn't feeling very good so she started her meal with some Dramamine.
It was another "Evening Chic" night so we dressed up a bit.
The menu:
I started with a warm goat cheese and arugula salad. This was delicious and easily the best dish of the night. The warm goat cheese, tangy dressing and peppery arugula made for a perfect combination.
Ross ordered a Caesar salad which was okay, but we've had much better. The dressing was a little bland.
For a main dish, I ordered the ribeye, which was good.
Grandma Trudy ordered the lasagna and was very happy it. The sauce was excellent and it was loaded with meat and cheese. Everyone thought this was the best pasta dish.
Ross ordered the branzino and really liked it. The skin was cooked perfectly crispy.
Sweet Pea ordered the lobster Alfredo, which was good.
I had high hopes for the ricotta gnocchi, but it wasn't great. The gnocchi were a little bland and chewy.
Amelia was feeling so sea sick that she did not order a dessert. Grandma Trudy and I both ordered pistachio creme brûlée which was good, but I prefer Celebrity's plain version.
Ross ordered the tiramisu, which was excellent. This was clearly the better dessert.
Ross also ordered a special coffee, Italian Café Brûlot, flavored with liquor, cinnamon and orange peels. The server told us that during prohibition, this was a popular drink because they could hide the liquor in the coffee.
After dinner, we went to pub trivia. It was a special St. Patrick's Day version. I am proud to say that I knew what a leprechaun's profession was: a shoe maker. We did not know who was the first president to attend a St. Patrick's Day parade. It was Harry S. Truman.
Here we are looking a little green under the St. Patrick's Day lighting.
The music got a little too loud in the pub so we took Grandma Trudy to the atrium to enjoy some oldies before turning in for the night.
