Dinner was at The Whip. Two amazing chowders as starters. The corn chowder had lots of bacony goodness. My favorite was the cauliflower and cheddar. So creamy with just enough aged cheddar flavor. Also had a refreshing Green Mountain salad with romaine, arugula, walnuts and cranberries. Lightly tossed with a balsamic.
Mains were herb crusted cod and a classic turkey dinner.
The cod had a super flavorful crust but still remained moist. Served with some tasty curried rice and bok choy. The turkey dinner had some amazing sides including well cooked baby peas, savory stuffing , creamy mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce. The turkey itself was disappointing. It was moist but had no flavor. Desperately needed salt. And the gravy had a great consistency but also had no flavor. After I added some salt and pepper it improved. But I shouldn't have to do that with turkey from a restaurant of this quality.
Dessert was a strawberry rhubarb crisp.
It was fairly well balanced between the strawberry and rhubarb. Definitely needed more rhubarb flavor for my taste. And the "crisp" part was lacking as the topping was a bit mushy. It was more like a cobbler.
