In this video, my husband, Rick, and I went to Louisville, Kentucky to enjoy a Titanic night. Our first stop was at the Louisville Science Center, to see Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition. This exhibition has been viewed by more than 22 million people worldwide. It features 150 artifacts and is produced by Atlanta based RMS Titanic, Inc., which is the only entity permitted by law to recover objects from the wreck of the Titanic. Rick and I then walked 5 blocks to the Galt House Hotel, where we were staying and dressed for a dinner meal at the Rivue Restaurant, which is located on the 25th floor of the hotel. It is circular, with glass windows from floor to ceiling, and revolves continuously during the dining experience. Here, we were served items from the first class menu that was the last meal served the night that the Titanic sank, April 11, 1912. The dinner was wonderful, beginning with Tattinger Brut Francais Champagne, followed by cream of butternut squash finished with Irish Whiskey and sippets, a salad of baby mixed greens, roasted artichoke with goat cheese, spiced pecans, red onion, asparagus, Peruvian potatoes and lemon honey dressing. For an entrée, Rick chose Roast Lamb Chops with Mint Sauce, accompanied by a glass of Sanctuary Mariah: Red Zinfandel. I chose Filet Mignon with Cream Pearl Onions, accompanied by Louis M. Martin Cabernet Sauvignon. Both meals came with grilled asparagus vinaigrette, Chateau potatoes and fresh breads. Our dessert was a flaming Glacier au four—a decadent combination of sponge cake, French ice cream and toasted meringue. I had coffee, freshly made at the table, with a variety of coffee toppings to choose from. It was a night to remember, and we hope you enjoy it, as well! I will be making one item from the menu to upload tomorrow!

  • I went to the titanic exhibit last February when it was setup up in London. It was amazing. I bought a piece of coal retrieved from the wreckage and even touched a piece of the titanic itself. Great experience :)

  • @jesmmifs The exhibit is really memorable. I didn't buy anything, but got the "boarding pass" of the passenger I represented at the dinner. Thanks for commenting!

  • What a sweet video, your hubby and you seemed to enjoy yourselves a greyt deal. My friends and I are working on recreating the dinner at home and will post the video as well if we ever get to make it.

  • @greytbritta That sounds wonderful! I would love to see the video!

  • betty, what was the name of the dessert? it looked delicious! did you make a video of the recipe? if not, could you please make a video for that dessert?

  • @guitarlover1216 I just answered you about the dessert I had this visit to the Galt House. Maybe you were referring to the other visit? It was a meringue with fruit, and the dessert was flamed. I didn't make a video of it.

    --Betty :)

  • Thanks for sharing! I wish you and your husband all the best! You guys seem like great people with great taste in food I might add!

  • Hey Betty!

    The Titanic Exhibit is now in our Science Centre in Calgary!

    I am so eager to go to it but the entry fee is so expensive and the annual pass is not worth it for us because we do not go to Science Centre everyday...

    I dont think they are offering Titanic style dinner tho...

  • liked the videos....good stuff
