Preview of our Valentines day menu



Here are some Ideas for Valentines day.  I was thinking of offering 3 courses for 35 dollars.
Maybe we could offer a wine flight for 15 dollars? My thought is even if only one person orders the  Tasting menu,  we should be able to get the other guest to order 3 courses also.  In addition I think some people like to have a package to order from so they can plan on the costs. It is a tough economy and there has to be some type of deal to bring in the guest without devaluing  our restaurant.

This is a sample of my menu, consisting of a Starter, Entrée and Dessert.    
                                                       
                                           Sexy , Simple and Sweet

Diver Scallop Soufflé  with Creamy lobster broth and caviar garnish.

Alaskan King crab Ravioli with black truffle carpaccio and parmigiano  reggiano.

Bitter sweet  Cordillera Chocolate Truffle cake, with  Illy cappuccino mousse and milk chocolate gelato.

As for the wine pairings I would probably pair the three courses with wines from Italy. I would be hard pressed to think of another country that produces better wine for food pairing, especially  the old world style. I would pair a prosecco with the first, something a little dry, a Pinot Grigio with the second course maybe from the Trentino region, like Terlan Pinot, and definitely a Brunello di  Montalcino from Il Poggione a perfect match for bittersweet chocolate.
