Brant Point Grill, White Elephant - Nantucket, MA

Welcome back from the holiday weekend.  Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, Black Friday and long weekend with your family.  Onto the food!  Part of the bike ride package is breakfast every morning at whatever hotel we were staying at.  Brant Point Grill is connected to the White Elephant Hotel and serves a pretty amazing breakfast. Starting with coffee, OJ and water.

And a beautiful view! 

The first morning I went really low key and opted for the oatmeal, but had waves of jealousy after watching what everyone else ordered and enjoyed!  Go big or go home.  The second morning I ordered the Left Coast omelet, and was so happy I did!  Eggs, chorizo, avocado, scallions all mixed together with salsa verde and queso on top.  Yum!

Served with amazing potatoes and fresh toast.  Now that is a breakfast of champions!  Anyone else hungry?

American Seasons - Nantucket, MA

Our last dinner in Nantucket was at American Seasons.  It's a quaint restaurant with large flavor and character.  They're known for their twist on American dishes and extensive creativity so I was really excited to get going and try things out! 

The waitress talked my Mom and I into getting a lavender martini.  We were a little hesitant, but it was so tasty!  You could really taste and smell the lavender.  I'm not a huge fan of martinis, mainly because I like some fruit flavor not just liquor, but I would happily drink a few of these, and did! 

Dinner by candlelight, the tables and decor were very cozy and gave a very relaxed feel for the whole meal.

My Mom and I (and another shot of the awesome martini.)

Their menu is constantly changing because they use all seasonal vegetables.  It's really cool because you could go back a week later and have very different options for dinner.  I started with the day boat scallops.  They were flavorful and soft! 

For my entree I ordered the roasted salmon.  Yes, it had popcorn  on top.  It really was a twist on the regular salmon you might order, the different textures of the popcorn and fish and sauces was really interesting and unique. 

I had to try the carrot cake for dessert.  Such a classic dessert, but it tasted very different and good!  No coconut and ice cream on top, delicious! 

I really enjoyed the meal here, the ambiance was unique and comfortable and the food was so different you'll be talking about it way after dinner.  

Le Languedoc - Nantucket, MA

Let me just start out by saying after dinner on the first night my Mom and I were wondering if we were on a bike trip or a food tour.  Either way, I was pretty happy!  We ate at Le Languedoc, which is a hotel and awesome restaurant.  Due to the large group we had our own menu to order off, and the lighting wasn't that great so bare with me on the pictures!  

Their presentations were beyond amazing.  This was the scallop appetizer, and was just as delicious as it looks!

We were told if we liked lobster this would be the best place to order it on the trip, so I followed directions and was so glad I did.  

It was a very unique way of serving lobster, and made it a lot easier to eat.  I didn't have to crack, break or dig out anything.  They had already done that and kind of opened up the lobster and re-stuffed it with the meat and cream sauces.  Wow... it was hard to stop eating this!

For dessert my Mom and I both ordered the  brioche bread pudding.  It included blueberries in the bread and also a rhubarb puree pudding like thing.  I can't say enough about this restaurant.  The service was awesome, and the food spoke for itself.  Not only was it presented beautifully but it tasted just as good if not better.

My mouth is now watering....

See you back here tomorrow!
