Put The Spark Back:

Now and then, it’s good for the soul, the relationship and the marriage to spend some time together – just the two of you – in a romantic setting with excellent and exciting food and delicious wine.

The Graingers at The Stanford Inn have planned a special evening for you and your significant other, called “Date Night At The Inn,” at a remarkably low cost of $24 per person. Date Night is planned for two nights only: September 10 and October 8, 2011.

The Chef has created a four-course menu that is both stimulating and delicious and includes traditionally romantic foods that will delight the palate.

Appetizers include a choice of scallops on half shell with mango salsa, brie and berries, roasted red pepper bisque, or potato pancakes topped with honey-smoked salmon and caviar.

Salad choices are Stanford house salad greens with mandarin oranges, almonds and craisins; iceburg wedge with bleu cheese and bacon crumbles; or fresh melon with basil cream sauce.

Whatever your mood, the two of you are going to be pleased with a choice of entrees: prime rib with horseradish crème and aujus; Stanford stuffed chicken (spinach, onions, red pepper, garlic, pine nuts, crème and bleu cheese); or Gulf coast group (blackened, grilled or fried). Side items include baked potato (regular or sweet), fire roasted corn, yellow rice, steamed veggies or honey glazed carrots.

For dessert, order two from a choice of warm caramel apple bread pudding (you HAVE to try this!), turtle cheesecake or chocolate fondue with fruit.

To make the evening complete, your hosts Becky and Tony Grainger will provide complimentary wine.

A date night with your better half, at the only four-star restaurant in Bartow, at a low cost that will probably never be repeated, free wine – what else could you ask for? Make reservations today.

The Stanford Inn, Tea Room and 555 Fine Dining is located at 555 E. Stanford Street in Bartow.  For more information, call (863) 533-2393,
