Beet and Goat Cheese Tart topped with toasted walnuts and served with a side mixed green salad
Green Salad with dried figs, tomatoes, goat cheese, and pine nuts, topped with crispy fried shallots
The girl next to me, Joann, had a wild rice salad:

I'm probably a lousy guest for Sea Rocket, since they specialize in seafood and I don't eat any.
