Anniversary



We celebrated our anniversary this year by dining at Biga on the Banks. Biga looks over the Riverwalk and has amazing food. The chef changes up the menu based on what local organic food is available.Brian and I had a great meal together and had free champagne to celebrate 3 amazing years of marriage. We were seated at a table for two right by the window.
Here are the delectable dishes we enjoyed that evening:

Starters :
Sarah - Chicken-fried Oysters
(5) squid ink linguini, Swiss chard, pancetta, whole grain mustard hollandaise
These oysters were so good. I mean who can't love chicken fried oysters :) They came 5 to a plate and were each placed on top of a tiny bed of squid ink noodles that were jet black. I ate one oyster and the noodles in one bite . They were many intense flavors with a slight kick

Brian- Shiner Bock Onion Rings, habanero ketchup, pickled peppers
I of course had a few of these. They were lightly battered and you could taste the beer. The ketchup was just hot enough. They brought 8 huge onion rings and we had to take some home.

Main Courses:
Sarah- Over Roasted Red Fish (not listed on the online menu)
The fish was cooked perfectly. It was topped with a tapenade and severed over polenta

Brian- Achiote roasted pork tenderloin, plantains, corn saute, avocado salsa, pickled onions, cinnamon sauce

Dessert:
For dessert we shared a mint chocolate chip tart with mint chocolate chip ice cream. The outside of the tart was a dark chocolate crust. The filling tasted exactly like mint chocolate chip ice cream and the texture was like the inside of a cookie. They decorated the plate with Happy Anniversary, and it was .
