Taste a Summer Sunset with the Sun Dial’s Limited-Edition Menu and Wine Flight

Have you ever wanted to taste a Summer sunset? Now you can, with the limited-edition Summer Sunset Menu from the Sun Dial Restaurant, Bar & View. Having captured and plated the vibrant colors, rich aromas and warm ambience of a Summer evening, Executive Chef Christian Messier's latest offering pair perfectly with the Sun Dial's twilight-drenched skyline.

The Summer Sunset Menu is a three-course, prix-fixe offering for $35 per person, and has an optional $20 wine flight. It's offered Monday through Thursday, from 6-7 p.m. exclusively. Reservations are required and be sure to mention the Summer special.

Now for the juicy bits:
This three-course, prix-fixe menu features Chef Messeir's signature tweaks on your favorite flavors. To tease the palate, choose from a Vidalia Onion Bisque - a slightly sweet, rich and creamy soup with a savory kick; a Watermelon Salad - Chef's tantalizing watermelon, feta and lime chili vinaigrette take on traditional a caprese salad; or the top-selling Peach and Blue Cheese salad with spiced pecans, baby greens and truffle vinaigrette. Your choice for this course is paired with a delightfully full-bodied, slightly tart and crisp-finishing Pinot Grigio.

Next, choose one of three entrée options to tantalize your taste buds. For a tasty twist on the quintessential Summer staple - steak - try the oh so tender and juicy Flatiron Wellington. Perched atop a sweet pea potato mash and topped with mushroom duxelles and a cabernet sauce, this delicious beef dish is a must-try. Another, lighter, option is the Spice Rubbed Arctic Char - the silky, succulent fish is crisped with a smoky, slightly spicy rub, plated with a tangy peach and fennel salad, accompanied by a corn and potato griddle cake. Option three is the Roasted Spring Chicken, plated atop a citrus risotto with haricot verts (French green beans) and an arugula pesto - deliciously simple. Your entrée choice is paired with a vibrant, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon that's spicy with a smooth finish.

For dessert, my favorite sweetly sinful treat: homemade cheese cake topped with fresh strawberries and a balsamic glaze. Creamy, tart and oh so  sweet, the final course is paired with a decadent Moscato, filled with the fruity, tropical notes of coastal Australia.

As I tweeted last week, when the last bit of red lipstick is wiped clean away, you know dinner was phenomenal!
