| - I have so many good things to say about my dinner tonight, I'll just stick to the facts and not waste your time. I am staying at the University Place Hilton on business. Last year I was here by myself and tried Lava Bistro. This year, I am here with several coworkers and four of us decided to walk over to Lava Bistro for dinner. We could not have made a better choice.
"Handcrafted" food is right!
We were kindly greeted when walking in and were seated quickly.
Our sever not only told us the specials, she told us their prices, too! Very cool!
The cheese plate (three cheeses and various toppings) and rosemary bread was spectacular. Tonight they had goat cheese with fresh strawberry topping, manchengo with sauteed onions and mozzarella with tomatoes.
Wine pours were huge, reminded me of the Keg size 8-9 ounces.
The Seafood Meritage was great, two small crab cakes, shrimp cocktail, and rare tuna on wonton-like chips. The tuna was perfect.
Marinated Tomato Salad sounded very interesting and tasted better. Fried tomato, stuffed with marinated tomato, feta, and mixed greens.
Cheesecake with salted caramel . . . Are you kidding me!!
Top it off with some decaf and call it a near perfect meal!
Bottom line, everything was delicious, service was top notch, food was high quality, and prices were reasonable.
Don't walk, run . . . to Lava!!
