Dessert at Bardessono: S'mores

If you’re ever in the Napa Valley, try Lucy Restaurant & Bar at Bardessono, a luxury hotel and spa in Yountville, California.  While I was there, I tried their dessert, which was a twist on the classic S'mores.  The S’mores plate presentation is simple, yet elegant.  Rich chocolate sauce is drizzled across the plate.  The base of the S’mores is a rich chocolate torte (tasting almost like a flourless chocolate cake) topped with marshmallow gelato that was gently torched before serving.  Resting against the toasted marshmallow gelato is a house-made graham cracker (and probably one of the best graham crackers I’ve ever had).  To the left is Lucy Restaurant’s peanut butter powder.  The peanut butter powder melted in your mouth, leaving the soft taste of peanuts.  This dessert was perfect paired with their café latte.
