| - Gorgeous interior, fabulous service. Loved the whole aura of lbs. However, our Summerlicious dinner wasn't as delicious as I expected it to be.
We knew we wanted to order from their fixed price menu, but there was also a Tuesday special, where you can get three types of shrimp and a glass of house white for $22. The sauce (some sort of horseradish mayo) was delicious, and complimented this appetizer perfectly. Forgot to take a photo of this sampler, but definitely the best part of the meal.
From the Summerlicious menu, I ordered:
I. Musk melon gazpacho with bacon and basil
This was a lot thicker than other gazpachos I've had. It was almost like a vegetable smoothie, and I was under the impression that the broth should be quite viscous. In addition, I'm not sure the flavours complimented each other that well.
II. Rainbow trout with toasted faro and sweet peas, mint and parsley broth
Loved the trout - there was a nice crispy layer on the bottom, and it was cooked well throughout. The toppings seemed strange at first, but I ended up liking the amalgamation of all the other ingredients.
III. Ice cream float
A refreshing end to the meal, though I think the caramel cruller would have been a better choice.
I know lbs. is more known for lobster and other seafood, so I hope those dishes are better than what was offered on the Summerlicious menu.
