| - Let's talk about the big sirloin, seafood platter, drinks and dessert. It's been a week to this day that I got the pleasure of trying out this contemporary restaurant w/in house dj. The music was so loud you could barely hold a conversation unless you were two inches apart, which I think is a little on purpose. ;)...but enjoying such good food, who would mind?! In fact, I was enjoying it all so much, I should've had my own table. All I can say is, that was one of the plumpest, juciest meats i've ever had. My friend ordered a scotch whiskey to accompany it. Not a bad choice and his wife, venison chops, which were delish.
I started with the pear/endive/arugala salad/walnuts/blue cheese crumbles ...very light and tasty followed by a shared plate of carpaccio, which I had heard of..maybe 6 years ago. Very tasty with the pesto pasta..don't have it any other way! The Seafood Platter for $40 which included: 2 oysters/ 2 pickled shrimp with jalapenos and red peppers/ alaskan king crab/ 1/4 maine lobster. It came with the horseradish and usual side sauces but there was another with a little vinegar..you hardly tasted it (and i'm not sure what else was in it) to add a little flavor. I made the right decision there, as I was trying to keep my dinner as 'natural' as possible..just adding a little kick to it. I enjoyed my main meal, which is more of an appetizer for me, with a rum/basil/cucumber cocktail. I could not have been offered a better suggestion. The dessert was a berry mousse. Topping it all off with a glass of champagne. One of the best meals of my life. I could not even fathom tainting all the good flavors in my mouth by touching the parmesan truffle fries, which I hear...are the rage. I can't wait to go back, even if it's by myself, at own little table. The pleasure will be all mine.
