Last night, I went to Anthony's Restaurant in Plattsburgh, NY for the 3rd time this week. Excellent food, wine and service each time.
Both of us started with a seared foie gras appetizer special. Apologies for the poor photos, they really don't do the food justice.
The foie gras was served on toast with mango chutney, pea shoots and a roasted plum. The pea shoots and flower garnish are from their on-site garden.
I followed that with the Sauteed Sea Scallops & Roasted Vegetable Ratatouille
It was served with linguine & roasted garlic aioli.
My brother had the Sautéed Shrimp & Sea Scallop Risotto
With dinner, we shared a bottle of Soter “North Valley” 2014 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
For dessert, we shared a scoop of the house made ice cream
I think it was called roasted coconut crunch or something like that. Delicious.
On my previous visits this week, I had the house salad that was packed with fresh and lightly pickled vegetables from the restaurant's garden, a fabulous soft-shelled crab with sauce Provançal, the Duck Confit Spring Roll appetizer and the Grilled Salmon with Warm Lobster Salsa. All were excellent. The wine list is good, head and shoulders above any other restaurant in this area with plenty of food-friendly selections that are fairly priced.
When we were there on Saturday night, there was a party of 50 in one of the dining rooms and the rest of the place was packed as well with lots of tourists due to the Canada Day holiday but there was no negative impact on the food or service.
I may be biased as long time chef-owner, Scott Murray grew up just a few doors down the street from my family but I've eaten here many times and have never found anything I could complain about. If anyone happens to be traveling through or near Plattsburgh, NY, I highly recommend Anthony's.
