Four-Course, Prix-Fixe Dinner at The Pink Door

December 11, 2008

A Mediterranean-inspired albacore tuna dish shines at The Pink Door.

One of our fave restos in the Pike Place Market, The Pink Door, is celebrating 27 years in business in December by offering a four-course, fixed-price menu for $30 per person (excluding tax and gratuity).

We’ll be there to sample the inspired menu devised by La Padrona herself, Pink Door owner and founder Jackie Roberts, and chef Steve Smrstik. Here’s a bit of background on the prix-fixe menu: “For the first seven years it was open, The Pink Door featured a fixed-price, four-course menu which drew rave reviews. In fact, The Pink Door still gets calls and requests from some guests asking if they’d bring it back. To honor its birthday, The Pink Door answered the call and unveiled a fabulous four-course menu created exclusively to celebrate its 27th year of magical life!

And here’s the menu:

First Course

Antipasto Misto (a little taste of everything!)

Second Course

Paglia e Fieno (“Straw & hay” white and green fettuccine with exotic mushrooms, light cream sauce, fresh herbs, and essence of truffle)

Third Course (Choice of Entrée)

Cioppino

Prawns, mussels, clams, and calamari in a spicy tomato & white wine broth

Braised Short Ribs

With celery leaf gremolata, farro, and oven-roasted vegetables

Semolina Gnocchi alla Romana

Gorgonzola sauce, toasted walnuts, and spinach

Fourth Course

Butler Farms Salad
