Bryan’s father gave us a gift certificate to the Chop House for Christmas this year – so we decided it was time to use it. It’s been a very stressful year so far, and both of us needed a special Date Night out.
The Chop House is located out on Lake Lucile, on the far side of Wasilla. It’s a beautiful restaurant with a gorgeous view. While we ate, we got to watch several people out ice fishing on the lake.
For our appetizer, Bryan ordered the Fried Calamari. Then we shared the Winter Beet Salad; with beets, carrots, cucumbers, blueberries, pumpkin seeds, and a spring mix tossed in a tasty vinaigrette.
For dinner Bryan ordered the Alaskan Scallops & Shrimp, served on a bed of linguini – which he said was absolutely scrumptious. I had the Chicken Grand Mere, a chicken thigh served with onions, mushrooms, sundried figs, and green olives. It was not very good: the chicken was dry and the olives overpowered everything else so that’s pretty much all I tasted. I would not order that again.
Desert was a slice of their house-made Peanut Butter Pie. I thought it was quite tasty, but he thought it was not peanut buttery enough. And I must say, their presentation of the dish was excellent.
