| - Wife and I had our new years eve dinner here, it's one of our favorite seafood restaurants in town .
I ordered the crab tower and steamed mussels , crab bisque and a beet salad .
Crab tower: crab , avocado and mango intresting combo with a balsamic reduction drizzle . Intresting combination it worked for me .
Steamed mussels in Thai curry sauce: nice size portions. Light on curry flavor but still very good.
Crab bisque: they bring it to the table in a nice sized bowl with about 3 -4 oz crab meat sitting in the middle of the bowl, on a tawny port reduction then the waiter pours the soup around the crab meat very dramatic . The bisque had a tomato/crab and cream flavor it also had some rice in it that gave it an intresting texture that I liked .
Beet salad : wife luvs beets so I had to order it: fresh beets , goat cheese and balsamic reduction = simple salad BIG flavors.
Entrees : we both had the holiday mixed grill. The plate was divided into thirds :
Grilled shrimp and scallop with rosemary skewer simply but tasty
Filet Oscar : 4 oz filet mignon with crab meat on a bed of potato roseti , filet was cooked perfect med rare and potato was a fancy hash brown cake both very good .
Grilled salmon on a bed of spinach completed the trio. Salmon cooked perfectly on a bed of sauteed spinach
I also ordered a side of truffle mac n cheese just sounded so good . Very disappointing to me , the dish was to runny and not cheesy enough.
desserts: chocolate trio, choco tart, choco ganache cake with rasberry sauce and walnut brownie with carmalized banana an vanilla ice cream.
Wife had a sangria , glass of wine and hot tea
Me jus ice tea an tap water.
I think I got it all :) , I know lots of food but everything looked so good and if u know me I'm a foodie . I know our waiter Karl was impressed.
We love this place because the food and service are always top notch. The restaurant itself is classy looking without the snobbery. The $ value is exceptional for example all the food and drinks came out to be $155 plus tip $188. . I mean read again all the food we ordered I think it's a good deal it's not cheap, but for us a special ocasion restaurant , maybe for some of you lucky folks an everyday place.lol
