Best Restaurant in Town

Yes, we live in Topeka, Kansas, but when I say RowHouse is the best restaurant in town, it does mean something.

Open for dinner Wednesday through Saturday, RowHouse features a different menu each week, often inspired by seasonal changes and local traditions. It is fine dining of a unique and always thrilling kind.

Here’s what my wife and I enjoyed last night at their special New Year’s Eve event:

  • 1st Bite:  Bubbles and Berries
  • Appetizers:  Garden Pesto Crostini, Spice Rubbed Cocktail Shrimp with Citrus Mayo, Feta Cheese Cake with Olives and Fennel
  • Salad:  Winter Greens, Cranberry Stilton, Dried Apricots, Pecans, Parmesan, Lemon Vinaigrette
  • Soup:  Creamy Tomato Dill
  • Vegetarian Entree:  Parmesan Risotto with Butternut Squash and Sauteed Spinach, Herb Oil
  • Entree 2:  Wasabi Crusted Sea Scallop, Bacon Date and Jalapeno Chutney, Ponzu Sauce
  • Entree 3:  Bourbon and Mustard Glazed Beef, Smashed Roots, String Beans
  • Entree4:  Elk and Blueberry Meatball, Braised Cabbage, Herbed Mayonaise
  • Sorbet:  Citrus
  • Dessert:  Trio of Creme Brulee (Chocolate, Lemon, and Gingerbread)

    How far out of your primal window did you fall? Events like this are the ones where I usually just cave completely. Who can turn down creme brulee??

    I’ve been deviating from Primal quite a bit and need to get back to it. But with RowHouse we don’t worry. The desserts are small, and everything they serve is real food.
