| - MENU HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED!!! I chose this restaurant for a special dinner based on past reviews. My hubbie and I dined here on 2/8/11 only to find out after looking at the menu that the menu is completely different. So if you are looking to enjoy some of the items reviewed, you won't find them. I was pretty disappointed just because of that. We were told the menu changed on 1/31/11. You still get the Nann, which was really good. We ordered 2 appetizers: Crab Croquettes and Manila Clams. The croquettes were pretty good, 3 bite size pieces. The clams were applewood bacon infused which completely over-powered the clam flavor, it could have been any shellfish with all that bacon flavor. For our entrees: Lamb T-bones and Chilean Sea Bass. The theme for all meats and seafood dishes is grilled over an applewood open flame. No frills, grilled protein is what you get. My husband's lamb was really delicious and a generous portion. My bass was disappointing, it was just so basic. Salt, pepper, and olive oil, and a tomato paste shmear on the plate. If I didn't know, I wouldn't even be able to tell it was Chilean Sea Bass. The fillets were very petite and thin. It was good, but just very very basic. We also ordered two sides: Mashed Potatoes and Grilled Broccolini, again, very basic. The service was ok, nothing special, nothing horrible. We did have to ask for our beverages to be refilled which really shouldn't happen in an upscale eatery. No dessert for us, we were just too disappointed to spend another $15 on dessert. Our meal came to $140 with tip. No alcohol because I'm pregnant and my husband doesn't drink. Server said Mina changed the menu because he was re-inspired by a recent trip back to the Mediterranean. Inspired by what, I'm not sure, the grill? Not a new concept in my book!
