Gordon and I had the pleasure of stealing away for 24 hours to celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary. We drove 45 minutes south east of Tulsa to
The Canebrake . I am not exaggerating when I tell you, it was the very best place EVER!!
Everything about this pastoral, eco-friendly hideaway made for a very memorable time for us. The ONLY downside was that we couldn't stay longer. The Canebrake uses natural, organic and locally sourced foods whenever feasible. The kitchen recycles and uses their cooking oil to create bio-diesel fuel. Their menu changes seasonally and its offerings include vegetarian fare, (including a few raw friendly dishes which may expand over time), organic Oklahoma raised Bison, hook caught and sustainable seafood, and everything is made from scratch. I don't have to tell you that this Real Food girl felt right at home. When the sous chef, Danny Savale , came to our table to check on our dining experience, I told him that I had officially arrived at the pearly gates of culinary heaven! Our dinner began with a tropical, seasonal fruit amanse (I have no idea how to spell this) to cleanse and prepare our palates for dinner. (YES!) This delicious fruit salsa contained fresh pineapple, melon, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeno and was served with tri-color corn chips. Since it was our anniversary and because Thursday evenings are half price wine night at the Canebrake, we decided to live it up. I ordered a split of Veuve Clicquot and Gordon ordered a bottle of a delicious, cellar cooled Petite Sirah from Napa Valley - Pennywise. My dinner: Gordon's dinner: My beloved carnivore began with a Fried Oyster Jubilee. Cornmeal & dill breaded Gulf oysters were served with a house remoulade sauce over a traditional Caesar presentation. Joy Harrel , tempted us with the best dessert menu I've ever seen. Gordon had a Rhubarb Phyllo Crisp with homemade ginger ice cream. There were no words, only moaning as he finished the last bite. American clay plaster walls, and it contains no volatile organic compounds. attended two classes in the unbelievable Yoga Barn which offers daily classes to their guests and the local community. There is also 5 miles of hiking trails (LOVED!)....Check them out on the web or you can follow them on Twitter . Whatever you want, they will do for you....it's totally my kind of place. Big props to Adam (who actually recognized me from my blog when we arrived), Chelsea, Kristie, Joy, Tracy, Danny, Curt, and Sam & Lisa Bracken, the owners. You guys rocked our world (and made us feel like rock stars).We can't wait to come visit you all again soon, Ya' hear?!
