#11 - The Windsor

June 2009

New Albany has such potential and has this one location that is the old New Albany Inn. It has been a number of restaurants and the Windsor is one of them. The chef here was amazing! This restaurant was a great French cuisine and the combination of foods was unique and delicious. I'm sorry they are no longer around. The chef did go to the Speakeasy - the New Albany jazz restaurant, but sadly, that is closed now as well.

#4 - Marche'

February 2009

I owe it to David again...this is an exquisite place to dine. Everything I've had there - I have to admit, I do request to go back here when I visit him in Nashville - has been a party for the pallet. From the first time I was there...he ordered this "appetizer" (which unfortunately is not on the menu any longer) that was some kind of sampler platter. Honestly, I cannot remember what we were dipping, but we were dipping in this warm chocolate ganache...To tell you the truth, it didn't much matter what was being dipped - it could have been cardboard, this chocolate ganache would have made anything taste heavenly!

We've ordered perhaps everything on the menu at one time or another - and they change their menu often - and David's so kind, he always let's me try his. Sometimes I like his choice better than mine. But if you ever have a chance to go to Nashville - this is a must try! You'll love the food and the atmosphere.

#1 - Varanese - Where it all started!!

Thanks David! I love you, my dear friend. You are such an inspiration and encouragement to me, I can never repay you.

Varanese, a delicious, mouth-watering, and delightful restaurant. This quaint little restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere. We enjoyed a talented jazz trio while we dined, enjoyed tasty wine, and an exquisite meal. I can still taste the scrumptious warm pistachio encrusted goat cheese balls served on top of spinach that were part of David's salad...which he "graciously" shared with me (although I almost lost a hand.) The grilled salmon was wonderful. A wonderful evening that I'd do again and highly recommend.
