| - A solid four stars, Sumomaya is a lively, hip gastro bar with an unexpected twist: Asian/Mexican fusion. Whaaat?! It works.
Topping our list tonight: The sea bass. Seared perfectly, deliciously salty/sweet, delicate yet portioned generously enough for hearty appetites.
Next, the king crab guacamole is amazing. An absolutely delicious appetizer served with fresh-made corn tostada shells, and large enough for our party of four to really enjoy. The tempura popcorn shrimp with pickled red and green jalepeno was outstanding as well.
The only reason I hold back on five stars was due to the beef dish and the panko lobster dish. The beef bites were chewy, not tender, served on a bed of water cress and onions, onions, onions. Red onion, and stalks of green onion. The onions were far too many, and undercooked, almost raw. Way too potent for intimate conversation. The stuffed panko lobster... Anyone can chop up lobster meat and mix it with sriracha sauce. 'nuff said.
Speaking of intimate conversation. You definitely will get close to your date at Sumomaya; it's the only way you'll hear each other. And this was a Sunday night, their quietest night. Still, it's a great place for a date, just maybe not a first date, and make sure she's a little adventurous! Sumomaya is culinary experience.
