Anniversary Dinner at The Clifton

The Clifton hotel in Charlottesville this !

The Clifton

We love being so close to our wedding venue, especially since we can have dinner there a few times a year! We went back to The Clifton for dinner on Tuesday night and spent some time walking around before we sat down. The boutique hotel changed ownership right after our wedding, and it’s been renovated and updated. It’s actually a lovely place to stay if you ever visit Cville for a little weekend getaway! It’s only about 10 minutes from downtown but you feel like you’re in the beautiful countryside (because you are!) We stayed for a few nights after our wedding and used the pool, hot tub, and restaurant. I highly recommend the Carriage House Cottage!

We went to the croquet lawn to remember our ceremony.

Dinner On The Back Terrace

Our reception was on the back terrace, so even though it was 95 degrees on Tuesday we knew we wanted to sit outside. The sunset was gorgeous, as was the view.

Salad To Share

We started with an heirloom tomato, peach, basil oil, and parmesan salad to share.

The Main Course

I had champagne to start and some wine to go with my lavender-crusted duck with orange-cedar butter sweet potatoes and a corn sauce. Duck isn’t something I order often, but I had to try the flavor combination. If you love lavender, you would love this dish. It was very good! Thomas had trout that he enjoyed as well.

Dessert

Our server surprised us with a tiny little anniversary cake, AND we had this deconstructed pumpkin cake with almond brittle crumble and pumpkin ice cream! We left full and happy.

The Chef’s Table

I had forgotten they offer a special in-kitchen chef’s table that I experienced with Karen years ago, so I would love to make that our next special visit. Perhaps for our 3rd anniversary!

Maybe next year we can stay the night as well. The Clifton for our anniversary is a tradition I hope to continue for years to come.

    I’m not sure why this happened, but yesterday I was so sure I was going to take a bike ride to the store and get an ice cream treat. It’s weird, it’s not like I even wanted it – I just kept thinking about it. And I wanted to do it. I can’t explain it (and don’t feel like I have to, to you gals!). But instead I had special K vanilla and almond for dinner (neither Jeff or I felt like making or eating dinner last night, he had a grilled cheese) and I never thought about ice cream for the rest of the night.
