| - We went to Wildfish for Valentine's Day...I was a little hesitant at first because for some reason I'd never heard anyone talk about it & I'm always a teeny bit wary of seafood restaurants anyway. I used to work in one...I think I'm scarred for life.
I had no reason to worry here. I ate SO much here...& everything I put in my mouth was totally delicious.
A manager started us off with a huge slice of cucumber topped with this delicious salmon stuff...as a welcome as first-timers in the restaurant. Now THAT is a way to get people coming back. That is huge for me. Such a nice surprise.
We ordered a few sides as our appetizer. The boy got the truffle fries (we know how I feel about fries...I had to hold myself back). I ordered asparagus (perfectly cooked & just barely seasoned, I could eat that forever) & we split the truffled mac n cheese. OHHH. That stuff is so gosh darn good...I wanted a whole pot to myself. But we split it, so I didn't gain 5 pounds on the spot.
Boytoy ordered the filet, oscar-style. They had to take it back for him to cook it a little more, but I think he just doesn't know what he likes. They were super nice & very fast bringing it back to him (with a little flashlight to check how well it was done!) He says it was one of the best steaks he has had in awhile. He also ordered a twice-baked potato with it that was just cheesy deliciousness.
I ordered the ahi, because it seemed to be one of the more creatively prepared meals on the menu, & their ahi is wild...so I could eat it with a clear conscious (see below). The wasabi mashed potatoes that came with it made me laugh out loud. So good...who thought of that?! I just wish I had eaten less beforehand so I could have eaten more of my meal (seared rare fish isn't as good microwaved).
My wine was good, our server was good...a little timid at times, but that was fine. We like to play around a little at dinner...I like a server who can hold their own, but all in all, a great special occasion dinner. It was a little pricey, but it's the Waterfront.
***DISCLAIMER: TREEHUGGER***I will say, they lost a star really only for having a selection of fish that was mostly on my ECO-WORST list! Fish is a tricky business lately. I will spare you the environmental lecture & just leave you with this: restaurants (especially in areas not close to the source) buy fish as cheaply as possible, which usually means fish that are dwindling in population (Chilean sea bass, etc) or collected in the wrong ways that kill other marine life or damage ecosystems (many kinds of tuna,etc). Just ask where your the fish you're ordering comes from. If the server doesn't know or obviously makes something up...you're in trouble anyway.
