Last night I had my first opportunity to eat at the Dodo. I took Melanie out for some shopping and dinner to celebrate her new teaching position at Hayden Peak and that's where she decided to eat.
Anywho, the appetizer (Brie and fresh fruit) was awesome. The wedge of Brie was actually quite large and the baguettes were delightful. The fruit, a blend of stawberries, pineapple, grapes and apple/pear slices, was fresh and crisp and delicious. Somehow a grape managed to work its way into my nose and I believe we both ended with fake Apple slice smiles.
Melanie had a gorgeous stuffed portobello mushroom dish which was also quite large. This was one of their specials so I'm not sure how often they actually have it. A an aside, their menu was actually pretty small (which I like) but they had 4 or 5 different 'daily' specials. I ended up with a tasty quiche dish and gazpacho which, unfortunately, was served on a 'skillet' looking dish that reminded me of Village Inn or one of those places.
Now for the best part: dessert! I'd read somewhere that they had some of the best desserts and I think that factored heavily into the choice to eat there. We split a tollhouse pie which was a pie crust with nestle tollhouse cookie dough inside. The cookie dough was pretty much raw and delicious. To top it off there was a healthy serving of whipped cream with chocolate chips. Needless to say it disappeared quickly :)

The food was delicious, and the company was great! Since there was only one sampling from the vast array of dessert choices I will definitely have to make another visit. How can a proper opinion of the desserts be ascertained without a complete sampling of the menu?
Here here! I'm all for sampling desserts
