| - Restaurant Week is what drew me in to Salmon Dave's. They had good offerings and I was pretty hungry just thinking about the deliciousness.
I brought along my friend, Amber, who had been there several times before.
My first impression- what a charming restaurant! I loved the décor and the location and there were lots of people at the bar so I am not alone in my thoughts.
Amber was already one martini in and saved me some ahi sashimi. They serve it with soy sauce, wasabi, ginger and a wakame salad. The tuna was so perfect and fresh and flavorful, I didn't even need the accompaniments. Delicious. I knew I wasn't drinking, but they had a nice wine menu.
We both selected the twin filet for our meal which came with asparagus and mashed potatoes. My filet, though slightly undercooked for my taste, was very good. The demi glace was flavored well without being too salty. Nice seasoning on the steak. The asparagus was cooked perfectly- simple, bright but still a little snap. The mashed potatoes were a bit of a disappointment. I'm not going to say they are from pearls/ a box, but they didn't taste homemade to me. My lobster bisque was fine, but nothing to Yelp about. I had a bite of Amber's salad and it was delicious- great presentation and I loved the dressing and elements of texture.
We shared dessert of crème brulee with raspberry coulis and a flourless chocolate torte. Wow. The brulee had a golden crust and I loved the bright, tangy coulis. The torte was light enough and I loved the crusty base and homemade whipped cream.
I've heard great things about Salmon Dave's crab legs and of course, salmon. I would definitely come back to check out seafood!
