After we showered, we headed over to the Boardwalk. We had dinner reservations close to 8:00pm but we really didn't want to wait until then. I asked the hostess if there was any way we could sit earlier and she took my cell number and said I would get a text when something came available. We sat at AbracadaBar and ordered a glass of wine while we waited. And before we even got the wine, I got the text! We aske about bringing the wine into FF and they said it was fine. They did pour it into plastic cups though.
We both ordered another glass of wine- DH a Cabernet and me my beloved Cakebread Cellars Chardonnay. We debated a bit over what appetizers to order. The pork belly is fantastic here and DH was definitely getting it. I have always wanted to try grilled romaine so I decided to give it a try.

Buttermilk-Crème Fraîche Dressing, Pecorino
The pork belly was delicious. This is one of our favorite items here. The grilled romaine was fine. I'm glad I tried it but not sure if I would order it again. For our entrees, DH decided on the Wagyu filet. One of the deciding factors was the return of the risotto. FF keeps on changing the side item that comes with the filet. Before we left home, we were looking at the menu and the filet was being served with a vegetable medley! No thanks! So VERY happy to see the risotto back. I ordered one of my favorites the Sea Bass. Both dishes were fantastic! We each had a bite of each others and both agreed this meal was one of our best!

We contemplated on ordering dessert. And we decided what the heck! We saw the new item that replaced the chocolate dessert (can't remember the name) and decided to give it a try. It was absolutely amazing! They bring over the cake and pour the warm chocolate ganache tableside!

We finished our dessert and headed back to the Swan. We had a fantastic first day. We wanted to get up nice and rested for our first full day of F&W. Lots more to come!
