Mamou

With the touch and comfort of home!


There's always that special occasion when everyone gets dressed, puts on their leather shoes, and head out for a fancy dinner out in the town. For my parents' anniversary this year, work and school got a bit in the way so the family just set Serendra as the meeting place then we'll just work our way from there. We wounded up in Mamou. I know this place may not exactly new and is actually somewhat of an institution already, however the family and I have never eaten here. The sound of home cooking usually baffles us since we end up thinking what was the point of eating out for a home cooked meal. With Mamou though, we made an exception.


Truffle Flavored Vegetable Mushroom Dip with Whole Wheat Melba Toast
It was a good started, but i just hoped the mushroom stood out more..





Dinner Rolls
When in Mamou, don't ever skip the bread!




Healdsburg's Harvest Salad
Just a light salad with berry dressing for starter. 
Clean.Crips.Good.





Lorenzo's Truffle Cream Pasta
We opted for a simple pasta as to give highlight to the main event. However this pasta was good in itself. The generous doses of truffle infusions made us wanting seconds.




28 Day Dry Aged USDA Prime Grade Steak
The dry processed steaks are always the best. They give the meat an entirely different dimension in texture and flavor. The steak resulted into having more depth but not tasting too beefy if you know what I mean haha.





Sides of Steak Red Rice and Cream Spinach
Tried sticking to the diet but maybe next time we'd opt for the White Steak Rice hehe. The creamed spinach was really good though with the steak. It added more depth to the steak without tasting too much greens. 




Frozen Hot Chocolate
Loved the smoky, deep, dark chocolate flavor with it cool velvet texture. The light whipped cream actually added just the right amount of richness.


When planning your next special dinner out without wanting to sit in a stiff restaurant with penny sized portions, Mamou is definitely the place! You get an excellent selection of gourmet dishes and steaks with the comfort you feel when visiting grandma's house!
