I wasn't expecting to be impressed, but I was.
Normally when I see a high traffic/expensive restaurant adjacent to a mall I'm skeptical, but today I was hungry and didn't want junk. The posted menu seemed inspired so I went in for a solo lunch at the bar. Very clean eating here, but they truly bring the flavor, and you will not leave hungry! Excellent choice for lunch or dinner.
Started with Pellegrino and black coffee. The bartender was friendly and helpful.
I like exploring the different methods of cooking chicken tortilla soup so I started with a small cup of that. Normally I prefer a clear, strong broth with lots of chicken and cilantro. Seasons' version is creamy and thick. The fresh cilantro is there, as is the roasted bits of chicken--really liked that-- but it was almost too thick for me. There were a lot of tortilla strips on top as well. If that's what you like you will love this version. The flavor is very good.
The tuna tartare starter was the star, and had I known I'd be fuller from the heavy soup, I'd have made it my lunch entree. I was expecting sliced tuna, but what I got was so much better! They serve diced raw tuna over a bed of avocado/wasabi mousse that has a thin layer of pineapple salsa. The whole thing is molded like a larger sized tuna fish can (to give you an idea of the size). It is served with a cone of extra crispy/spicy flat breads. I loved everything about this dish!
For my lunch entree' I ordered the red mole beef brisket tacos --with lettuce wraps rather than tortillas (they give you the choice). There are three ample tacos to this dish, served with sides of cilantro/verde sauce and red mole/chile sauce. These tacos were amazing. I had to take my time as I was full from the tuna.
Very good experience. Definitely going back!
