great friends, Parma Ridge Bistro

Yes! It certainly was a great 2 hours spent in the Barrel Room eating with friends and family. Our neighbor Craig and his Mom and Dad, Craig’s girlfriend Jessica and her son and Mom, Marnie and Eric and Robin. Such a good group who all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Definitely a 5-Star Bistro! We highly recommend them – they are open Wednesday thru Sunday and reservations are highly suggested. (24509 Rudd Road Parma ID 83660, 208.946.5187 and info@parmaridge.wine) Here is their Bistro Menu. Here is what we had! Enjoy! Left-Click any of the photos to see them enlarged.

There is always wine and beer is available, too.

House Salad. Delicious!

Robin had the beef!

Marnie had the Mushroom Omelet

Eric had the Biscuits and Gravy

Craig had the Rutherford Burger

Jessica had the Korean Chicken

Trey had the Parma Ridge Burger and Fries

Jessica’s Mom had a Poutine Bowl

Bob had Storm’s Salmon

We all had some Wine Lovers Chocolate Cake

braised beef, brisket

Oh yes. And some awesome new wines! Chef Storm and his friend Chef John Mercer (see This Post) did a super, awesome job preparing these goodies. This was a special dinner put on by these two very talented Chefs. It will not be available at all times. Their Prime Rib, though, is just as good. Look at what we enjoyed today. (Left Click any of these photos to see them enlarged!)

Chef John and Chef Storm

2016 Reserve Merlot was awesome and went very well with the pork and brisket.

Omelet with Local Mushrooms was terrific!

Double Cut Pork Chop Mostarda $24.95
A Smoked and Seared Double Cut Pork Chop with House made Green Grape Mostarda
(a savory Italian Jelly made with fruit, sugar and horseradish),
Sweet Potato with Gnochetti in a Brown Butter Sauce and Sautéed Carrots and Fennel

Even the leftover pork chop was great!

Wine Braised Brisket alla Giudia $24.95
8-oz Cut of Brisket Slow Braised in Sweet Red Wine with a Crown of Fried Artichoke, Sweet Roasted Garlic and Sautéed Carrots and Fennel

From appetizers to full course meals, Parma Ridge offers both the taste and the view.

I did mention to Stephanie that Robin and I have probably had close to all of the items offered on the menu. We have never had a bad selection, but there are some we prefer! The Parma Ridge Bistro is definitely a 5-Star winery bistro in the Snake River AVA.

Love this photo by Stephanie Hodge! So dramatic!
