The Supper Club: Take Two (Greensburg)

Not too long ago I recounted my visits to The Supper Club in Greensburg on this blog.  The Supper Club made such an impression on us that we decided to dine there for our New Year's Eve date night.

The weather outside may have been a bit snowy, but inside The Supper Club it is cozy.  For New Year's Eve, The Supper Club offered a special three-course prix-fixe menu filled with mouthwatering options.  As fans of squash, we both picked the Heritage Farms Acorn Squash Bisque for our first course, with grated old cold gouda and apple and truffle oil garnish.

For the main course, I selected the Seared Rare to Well Salmon, which is seared on one side only, giving it the characteristic gradual doneness (hence, "rare to well").  It came with black sesame sticky rice and tempura broccolini in a coconut green curry broth.

The winner of the evening, however, was R.'s Seared Sea Scallops, with crab risotto, Hidden Hills Allegheny Cheese, and sauteed spinach, in a roasted red pepper beurre blanc that is to die for.

For dessert, I picked the Roasted Pear, served with Chambord Anglaise and a hazelnut florentine. R. went for the Croissant Bread Pudding with whiskey caramel sauce topped with a dollop of vanilla gelato.

It was another great visit to The Supper Club and a lovely way to toast 2012 goodbye!
