Wow, where do I even begin?? This was an absolute wonderful dining experience that I hope to repeat again soon. The 5 star reviews are well deserved. We arrived at 6 and were seated immediately. We asked for a booth but were told they were all reserved for a party. Not a big deal but the tables for 2 are very close together and don't offer any privacy. Other than that, I have no complaints.
Our server, Beth, came over right away and welcomed us. She explained the small plates concept and recommended a few things according to our taste. We started with 4 plates and ended up ordering 8, including dessert.
We had the yellowtail salad which was basically yellowtail sashimi on some greens with a spicy sauce. Then they brought out the Ahi tuna tataki which was excellent (we ended up ordering a second). Perfectly seared tuna on a fried wonton with avocado and a wonderful sauce. Next up was the garlic lo mein noodles, if you love garlic you wont be disappointed. Then we had the potatoes with ham and chives and the crabcake. The crabcake was very good, very little filling and large pieces of lump crab.
Now I am saving the best for last. The seabass in miso broth was nothing short of incredible. It was one of the best dishes I have ever had, and that is saying a lot! The fish was cooked to perfection. Crispy on the outside and moist on the inside sitting in the most incredible miso broth. I could have eaten 2 or 3. We ended this fantastic meal with the apricot sticky pudding. Another incredible dish worthy of the 5 stars.
This was just a fantastic meal with great service. Beth did a great job checking on us and making sure we were happy. I will definitely be returning to David Clawson for more of his food.
