| - Since moving back to the Valley of the Sun, I have had a hard time finding both good and fresh seafood. It's one of the few things my little heart is broken over since leaving LA. Traffic on the 405 nope, don't miss that a bit... The better than thou attitudes and the plastic LA scene, nope, can't say I miss that either... But having access to super fresh seafood is something this girl misses... ALOT!
So last night when this chick was craving some fresh oysters and fantastic seafood... I was at a loss as to where to go, that was until Wildfish Seafood Grille was suggested. I thought sure, why not, haven't been there but frankly wasn't expecting to be wowed. Made a quick reservation through open table on my trusty Yelp app on my iphone and off we were to Wildfish!
Once we arrived we were greeted by 3 super friendly hostesses and were promptly sat in a comfortable booth, Our server Charles was quick to the table to take our drink order and was both knowledgable of the menu but also friendly, funny and engaging and was never too intrusive during our meal. It's rare that you find both good food and service so out of this world that it makes you want to go back and dine there every night of the week, but Wildfish delivered the good food and Charles delivered the stellar service!
We started off with a dozen oysters, which were fresh and delicious. Only complaint was that there were a few chunks of shells in several of my oysters but it happens. I can't wait to come back for more delicious and fresh oysters ASAP!
Being torn between 3 different entrees, I looked to Charles for his suggestion. He suggested (The Sea bass) and boy he was seriously just spot on. The Chilean Sea Bass is steamed Hong Kong Style served in a light soy broth. The fish was not only super fresh, but it was cooked to perfection and the soy broth perfectly balanced the dish. It would be hard to ever go there and order a different entree after eating that! They had a scallop dish that was a special that particular evening and they were smaller scallops served with roasted grapes, that dish was also quite delicious and I thought the grapes were an interesting addition. We ordered two small sides, The Brussels sprouts and the sautéed spinach, both good but the Brussels Sprouts were the real standout. We finished off our meal with their delicious bananas foster butter cake with butter pecan ice cream ( I think I died and went to sugar coma heaven) .
So moral of this story is this.... Go to Wildfish Seafood and Grille, make sure Charles is your server, order the oysters (if your into that kind of thing!) and get the Chilean Sea Bass and don't skip desert!
