La Campagne (French)

Now officially both Jay and Ken's favorite restaurant, we visited La Campagne in Cherry Hill, NJ, on Saturday, January 7, 2012, and were prompted seated for our 7 PM reservation and by the fireplace, as requested. Still enjoying Jay's 50th birthday, we had a fabulous time! Our server, Robert, was a pleasure.

Love the herbed butter, which comes with warm bread...

Appetizers:
Jay had the pate special - veal pate with pistachios. So delicious!

Ken enjoyed the crab cake, once again.

We were given complimentary Champagne sorbet, to cleanse the palette.

Entree:
We shared the Chateaubriand - carved tableside with sauce Robert (enhanced the meat), roasted potatoes and bok choy. The beef was so tender that we melted with joy.

Of course, we finished with the cheese platter: Beemster (Ken was hoping for this!), blue, ghouda and brie. The sundried tomato paste was wonderful, as well as the sliced apples and fruit sauce.

Wines enjoyed:
2003 Mischief & Mayhem Pinot Noir (Gevrey Chambertin)
2010 Giesta Dao (32% Touriga-Nacional, 45% Tinta-Roriz, 23% Jaen)

Love this place!
