While the Yellow Dog was offering
several great-sounding specials that
evening, we decided to stick with the
Harvest Moon menu.

For the first course, you get to choose
from two soups and two appetizers.
My husband ordered the Yellow Dog’s
signature crab bisque, which he loves,
so I decided to try the soup of the day,
which on this evening was the chef’s riff
on a New England clam chowder. The
bisque was sumptuous, as always, and
I really liked the clam chowder.

Next came a choice of salads, and
both my husband and I had a very nice
Caesar with just the right number of
anchovies.

For entrées on this evening, I chose
the grilled portabello mushroom and
my husband opted for the potato crust-
ed salmon.

The portabello, stuffed with arti-
choke hearts, fresh spinach, roasted
red peppers and Havarti cheese, was
accompanied by Chef Stuart Borton’s
wonderful rice. A great vegetarian dish.

My husband’s Scottish salmon, en-
crusted with potatoes and perfectly
cooked, was served atop beautiful
asparagus spears, the chef’s rice, and
topped with a lobster saffron cream
sauce.

evator, and access to numerous ame-
nities, the owners enjoyed their is-
land residence.

The private elevator opens into the
grand entry foyer that acts as a hub
for greeting guests, setting a warm
and inviting tone and providing the
perfect connection to interior spaces.
The set of double doors lead to a light-
filled living room with wide windows
and sliding glass doors that open onto
a private balcony.

“This light-filled home is beauti-
fully designed and situated in such
a serene setting,” notes Matilde So-
rensen, Dale Sorensen Real Estate
broker-owner.

Condominium living in Palm Is-
land Plantation combines modern
luxury with economic design. Qual-
ity architectural features include
custom millwork, crown molding,
tray ceilings and arched doorways
that enhance aesthetics and improve
functionality. The versatility of the
open floor plan for public spaces cre-
ates a single living space that func-
tions as multiple rooms.

The living room, dining room and
kitchen all share the same space. The
kitchen is open to the living room but
separated by a cased opening that
divides the rooms physically, but not
visually. The kitchen can be closed
off from the dining room for more
formal affairs.

The island kitchen features a
breakfast nook with a window seat
and built-in desk for keeping the
household running. Granite coun-
tertops and dark-wood cabinets add
a touch of elegance to a space filled
with high-end appliances, including
a wine cooler, electric range, warm-
ing drawer and panel-faced refrig-
erator.

A large balcony runs along the com-
munal living areas where guests can
enjoy balmy breezes carrying salty
sea air as they sip wine overlooking
a greenspace filled with luxurious
Florida flora.

A wet bar with ice machine is situ-
ated in a hallway just off the kitchen.
