| - I have been waiting to go to The Blue Taj for over a month..the first time we couldnt make it because of the snow fall in Charlotte. Last night we went..I wish it would have snowed! The atmosphere is eclectic Indian, thats is interesting, the menu online looks good, so we ventured off to try it. When we sat down we were served an "Amus Bouche" It is just a one bite little appertif. It was the tinest speck of pear with a golden raisin and a sprinkle of curry powder on top...Okay...not anything spectacular. We started with Appetizers, My husband had the Wok Stir Fried Filet with Peppers and I had the Tomato Coconut Bisque. The soup was the best item of the whole night! I wish I would have had three bowls of it. My husbands stir fried filet was good and spicey but for 13.00 it was less than 1 ounce of meat. We went on to order our entrees. I chose the Lemon Chive Corvina with Leek and Wild Mushroom Stew. My husband had the Scallops Sczhuean Peppercorn Sofrito with Chinatown Green beans.
My fish was a flat filet, no lemon chive sauce on it, I called the waiter over and asked him what kind of fish was this..it did not look nor taste like Corvina..he said.."Oh no we cant get Corvina so that is Halibut!" Nice of them to tell me before I ordered...It was dry and tasteless, I asked for a chutney or sauce, the waiter said sure, He brought me a bottle of Sriracha Hot Sauce. As far as the mushroom stew..there may have been Mushroom broth underneath the fish, but I saw nor tasted no mushrooms. My husbands Scallops were okay, 4 med, no flavored scallops...The meal for four of us ( the other couple had almost identical items as us) with Two glasses of wine apiece came to 204. Not worth have of that....I was so very disappointed, and hungry when I left...Just not the fusion cuisine that they advertise...No flavor...anywhere...Save your money..dont go there!
