Sugarmill

Last night we met our friend Alison out for dinner at Sugarmill.  We are both still talking about it today.  

It is a dessert bar and cafe that just opened in December.  We each had the beef Wellington and it was delicious.  It was served with a simple radish salad and was a perfect portion size that left room for dessert.  

Oh the desserts!  We had:

Noahsphere:  Hollow Chocolate shell filled with candied walnuts, flourless chocolate cake, marshmallows and vanilla marscapone cream, with hot caramel served table side.

Here is a link to the local Fox station segment on the Sugarmill & Noahsphere:  http://link.kdvr.com/LPk8BA (second video).  It is one of the more horrifying pieces we have seen - they were not listening to the Chef and kept going back to the studio for commentary, and the reporter likened the dessert to the nazi heads melting in Raiders of the Lost Ark.  Train wreck, but it stills gives you an idea of the restaurant and this dessert!

We also tried Shades of Red: Raspberry macaron, vanilla macerated raspberries, red velvet cake, rose champagne sorbet, raspberry mousse.

This was the surprise favorite of the night.  The Noahsphere was amazing, but this was good in a whole different way.  The raspberry macaron was about 3" in diameter and was so chewy and delicious, it made the dessert.  We even took a dozen macarons home.  

Erica would go back today, and Chris would gladly go along.  

Anyone have a good macaron recipe?
