It was served with broccolini and corn fritter cakes. The petite salmon on a stick was a crowd pleaser! It was Alaskan Sockeye traditionally prepared and roasted over Alderwood coals on ironwood sticks. It tasted fruity and spicy, which went very well with the delicate scallops. This was paired with Betz Family Winery Old Vine Chenin Blanc “Quinta Essentia” from Stellenbosch, South Africa 2017. The seared scallops with porcini dust and truffle oil over roasted cauliflower purée with succotash was a hit! The sear on the scallop was perfect and it was gloriously tender inside.

If you know me, then you know I love scallops but again, don’t order them often out of fear of being disappointed. This was delicious and the crab was the star of the show! Generally, I’m not a fan of Hefewizen but this one really got me. I don’t order crab cakes often because they are often made of fillers instead of lumps of crab. Our first course was a dungeness crab cake with lemon aioli, petite miso-apple watercress salad paired with Snoqualmie Falls Haystack Hefewizen. The space is beautiful with high ceilings, low light, and has a traditional longhouse feel.

It was the perfect place to begin our evening! 2002 Guilio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore Blackfish Wild Salmon Grill & BarĪfter an already exciting day, we were ready for a meal! Our next stop was Blackfish Wild Salmon Grill & Bar, a seafood centric dining option at the resort. The lounge has a welcoming vibe complete with a cozy fireplace and a good variety of different seating options. As we leisurely chatted, we snacked on a light veggie plate with tasty quiche bites. This sparkling wine was complex, sweet, and fruity. I can’t imagine a better way to start the night. We opened with a 2002 Guilio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore from Trento, Italy. My husband and I met up with my Seattle Foodie Podcast co-host Nelson Lau and our good friend Annie Nguyen. We began our evening at Destination Lounge for drinks and appetizers. Tulalip Resort Casino provided a complimentary stay, food, beverage, concert tickets, and spa credit. Destinations Loungeĭisclosure: This post is not sponsored. The food was well executed and expertly paired with beverages. This summer, I stayed at the hotel and had a chance to try our many of their food and beverage options. I’ll admit that I never thought about Tulalip Resort Casino as a food destination. As a local foodie, I think about food a lot.
