Riverstone, Eagle River WI

For my parent's anniversary this week we went to dinner at Riverstone in Eagle River.

Riverstone is what I would consider one of the higher class restaurants in the area. It has a very advanced menu in my opinion. I LOVE this restaurant, and we have eaten here a few times, but generally as a "special occasion". It is a bit pricey, but worth it if you are looking for something really great.

They have a great appetiser menu, and we had what might be considered lame mozzerella sticks, but they were not like any you've ever had around here. They were hand breaded perfectly and the cheese just melted in your mouth. We also got a new item on their menu which was a ginger chicken wrap with sticky rice. Very yummy. And not something you see in this area. In the past I have had their french onion soup which is DIVINE.

We also had salads - I desperately wanted to get this 12.00 salad they have...It is their "Reserve" salad - who has ever heard of a reserve salad? It sound very good though, but it was big, and nobody would split it with me, so instead I got the butter blue salad. Absolutely great with a terrific dressing and blue cheese crumbles, walnuts and great butter? lettuce.

For an entree I got the pork tenderloin with butternut squash ravioli. WOW!!!! Next time I will just get the ravioli only as an entree - they do have that option. This is NOT the ravioli with the blue cheese sauce - I had that once and although I enjoyed it, the flavor of the blue cheese was too much for me. But this is a different sauce and to-die-for. The pork was good too! Kevin got the strip steak, which he said was good, but I dont think it was "amazing". My mother got the flat iron steak, which she said was absolutely wonderful. My dad got the shrimp which he also loved.

Although we were stuffed, we also shared a tiramisu dessert. It was PERFECT! I could eat a ton of this stuff, thank goodness we were so full!

Definately go here if you are looking for a special dinner out - expect to pay a little more, but it is totally worth it.
