| - What a great place! Once we arrived the places was packed. We had a reservation, so were seated right away.
Atmosphere: A modern looking space, with an industrial type of feel. The servers are dressed in jackets and ties. Kind of reminded me of what you see servers wearing on cruise ships. The uniforms didn't seem to fit the decor.
Service: Our waitress was super friendly, as were the other servers. I used Opentable to make our reservation and they ask if it is your first time dining at the restaurant. I always answer it and figure it goes to some kind of analysis. For the first time, the restaurant acknowledged it. The manager(?) came over to our table after we had placed our order, introduced himself and said "I heard it was your first time dining here and I wanted to welcome you. I had the chef make this for you." It was a spicy tuna topped cucumber and it was delish! What a nice touch, bravo to Wildfish.
Appetizers: Shrimp cocktail; great texture served with cocktail sauce, atomic horseradish and chipolte cream. They're not lying about the horseradish being atomic, it was hot, but great with the shrimp. The chipolte cream was divine, I think it would have been good on anything. The fresh oysters were also delicious, great taste without being slimy or fishy. Along with the cocktail sauce and atomic horseradish, they were served with a shallot champagne vinaigrette, yum. I love how they gave you what you expected, but also threw in a little surprise.
Entrees: Gulf Snapper Filet Sautéed with Fresh Jonah Crab and Lemo Chive Butter Sauce; cooked perfectly and a great dish. Broiled Swordfish Steak Frites with Grilled Mushrooms and Truffled French Fries, really tasty and the fries were awesome.
Sides: Crab Fried rice was so toasty and decadent. The sauteed spinach was unbelievable with shallots and garlic.
Before the entrees were served our waitress told us about their baked to ordered desserts.....how do you pass up a baked to order dessert? Well you don't!
Dessert: Pineapple upside-down cake with a bourbon sauce that was flambeed and butter pecan ice cream. O-M-G, so incredible and decadent. Just an amazing dessert!
Wildfish is just wonderful all around!
