Carpe Vino - Auburn

To start, we ordered the Seared Dayboat Scallops, served with a cauliflower purée, almond-sultana relish, and curry brown butter. These were incredible and come highly recommended. JackieL opted for a Romaine Heart Caesar salad, meticulously tasting the dressing to ensure it met high standards, while Chef Whit enjoyed the Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin, accompanied by farro, baby turnips, wild arugula, and pickled cherries. We shared both dishes and thoroughly enjoyed them. Although JackieL wasn’t as enthusiastic about the pork tenderloin as I was, she was very impressed with the salad. For dessert, we shared the Chocolate Pots de Crème, which we both loved immensely. Even though JackieL doesn’t drink, I asked our waitress for a wine recommendation, and she offered us an excellent 2010 Louis Latour Pouilly-Fuissé. I had been eager to try the Steamed Mussels, but since JackieL doesn’t like them, I missed out, until some kind diners at the table next to us offered me a sample upon hearing it was my birthday. They were fantastic! Overall, we both found the experience to be excellent and would highly recommend Carpe Vino. I can hardly wait to come back and try the Roasted Angus N.Y. Striploin in red wine sauce!
