TERRA VISTA TANTALIZES WITH A SIZZLING WINTER MENU
Snoqualmie Casino’s fine dining restaurant rolls out delicious, seasonal starters, entrées and desserts, perfect for dining out on a winter’s night
Snoqualmie, WASH—Jan 15, 2010—Terra Vista the fine dining establishment at Snoqualmie Casino proudly announces its winter menu, spearheaded by Chef de Cuisine Bruce Dillon.
Start with something elegant yet adventurous. Sweet Onion and “Woodchuck” Cider Soup is served with white cheddar toast, and juniper oil; the Warm Goat Cheese Salad features walnut chips, poached pear, endive, baby greens, duck confit, and plum vinaigrette; and seafood lovers will marvel in the Chilled Seafood Platter, an indulgent start of smoked wild American shrimp, half chick lobster, smoked scallops, smoked salmon, mussels pistou, fresh Alaskan king crab legs, and sauce gribiche.
Entrees fall nothing short of dazzling. Grimaud Farms Duck Breast is served with a chocolate and port reduction, pomegranate and onion jam, potato puffs. Natural Venison Loin is complemented by lemon garlic spinach, green lentil pilaf, organic bacon and sherry emulsion. A mouthwatering Wagyu Beef Tenderloin Trio (Japanese, American and Australian) is served with truffle potato puree, roasted King oyster mushrooms, and Bordelaise syrup. Seafood lovers will find several selections, including seasonal Sturgeon served with sorrel velouté, warm black garlic ice cream, golden and black caviar. Whole Maine Lobster is a mammoth 48-ounce grilled cracked lobster with Vadouvan masala, potato puffs, beech mushroom sauté, and preserved lemon beurre blanc.
Desserts are clever feats at Terra Vista. Sticky Toffee Pudding brings back an old fashioned flavor in a new presentation with butterscotch whiskey sauce, sweet plum and framboise ice cream. Tiramisushi (no fish here!) delights in its familiar shape, comprised of vanilla sponge roulade, bittersweet mascarpone filling, gingered pear ribbons, with espresso liquor sauce, and sesame candy “chopsticks.” The Crème Brûlée Trio entertains the palate with flavors of butter rum pecan, cinnamon, and espresso praline.
Food is just part of the story at Terra Vista. Alongside Dillon are Seattle’s best and brightest tastemakers including Maitre’d Jon Sheard gracing the floor, and Patrick Haight (of Tini Bigs fame) running the beverage program.
Aspiring to farm-to-table practices, Terra Vista aims to source and prepare the best foods for its guests, using ingredients from farms that practice sustainable and/or organic farming methods. The dining room brings a jaw-dropping panorama of the Snoqualmie Valley, captured from tiered banquette and table seating areas. Double linen-swathed tables topped with fine crystal and china exude luxury. Find Terra Vista at Snoqualmie Casino 37500 SE North Bend Way, Snoqualmie, Washington; Phone: (425) 888-1234.
