Our first dinner of the trip was at Artist Point at the Wilderness Lodge.
This was the highlight of our trip.
Marvelous food. We had a knowledgeable and friendly waiter. Everyone at Artist Point seemed to be at ease and gracious. Artist Point has a very pleasant atmosphere. It was just my husband and I and we had a seat by the window with a great view of the Wilderness Lodge.
I started with the Smokey Portobello Soup with Roasted Shiitakes and Chive Oil (I thought it was truffle oil). I LOVED this tasty soup. The flavors blended perfectly. It was absolutely delicious and I would go back to Artist Point just for this full-flavored soup.
My husband started with the Crispy Venison Spring Rolls with hot sweet and sour sauce. He loved the venison rolls. I tasted them also and agreed they were very good.
We also shared the Selection or Artisan Cheeses (with Riesling-poached raisins, fig cake, dried cranberries and walnut toast). Two of the cheeses were very good and one was tasteless.
For my entrée I had their Signature Dish, which was the Cedar Plank Roasted Wild Salmon with Spring Vegetables, Herb Dumplings and Sage Brown Butter Vinaigrette.
Actually the salmon that I had was the fresh Copper River Salmon that is only available from mid-May to mid-June. This salmon comes from the Copper River in Alaska and this salmon is among the richest, tastiest fish in the world.
It is cooked and served from a cedar plank, which gives it a wonderful flavor. It was the best salmon I ever had and the vegetables were delightful also. I found the dumplings to be just ok, nothing special.
My husband had the Hatfield Pork Chop on Tillamook Cheddar Mac & Cheese with Maytag Crust. He fell in love. He said it was the best pork chop he every had. I think I heard him dreaming about it during the night.
I had white wine and my husband had red wine, which we both enjoyed. Sorry, I dont remember the names.
For dessert I had the Artist Point Cobbler. Yummy, Yummy, Yummy! This SCRUPMTIOUS cake was warm and was filled and surrounded by blueberries, raspberries, blackberries & strawberries with whipped cream and homemade black raspberry ice cream. OUTSTANDING and DELICIOUS!!! This was my FAVORITE dessert of the week.
My husband had the Chocolate Truffle Cake with honey-blood orange coulis. He loved it.
Weve been trying to eat at Artist Point for many, many years now and it just never worked out. Luckily for us, this time we were able to make it and we will definitely be back. Artist Point was a delightful experience and we enjoyed it immensely.
