For my second course I ordered the Yukon Gold Potato and Egg Pavè. Besides the potato and egg it was finished by Piquillo Peppers, Manchego Cheese, Fennel Oil. I would best describe this dish as Au Potatoes Gratin. It was a comforting dish, maybe needed some salt.

Rebecca was adventurous on her 2nd order. She picked Stuffed House Made Tofu in Puff Pastry 5 Spice Braised Tempeh, Wasabi-Pea Puree, Daikon- Enoki Mushroom Salad, Yuzu Vinaigrette. Doesn't that sound interesting?! I didn't try it but she said she enjoyed it.

Main course time! Jennifer ordered the Grilled New Zealand Lamb Loin served on top a bed Beet Couscous, Currant Crème, Fennel Foam, Basil Puree. She ate all of her lamb and only bit of couscous. She enjoyed that her dish came covered in foam! Jennifer is a major fan of cooks who play with foam - remember Marcell from Top Chef Season 2 - Yep, she likes him.

Rebecca and I both chose the Miso-Citrus Glazed Neah Bay Halibut as our main. It was served with Ginger Quinoa, Grilled Rapini, Sea Beans, Sesame Vinaigrette. The ginger quinoa was so tasty. I could really taste the ginger. The sea beans were deep fried and tasted like mushrooms. I am a sea bean fan! The Miso glaze on the fish was tasty as well.

Last course! Rebecca chose the Smores - complete with House Made Marshmallow, Chocolate Sorbet, Graham Crisps, Chocolate Sauce, Smoked Sea Salt. She could only eat half. We were stuffed!

All in all Nimbus was a beautiful experience. The drinks were fun, the company was great and the food was unique. I enjoyed sampling a little of this and a little of that. I was stuffed and glad we were able to walk home. Washington is a beautiful place and really likes to focus on eating clean, I appreciate that. Now I am off to my Uncle's farm, I will learn a lot to take home to become a master gardener!
