I have eaten at Renegade by MOD four times. I ordered the Twisted Ramen Noodles scented with Lobster Miso the first time. It was delivered with a raw quail egg. The waiter poured hot broth over everything and it cooked the egg to perfection. It was so tasty that I had to force myself to try something else on my next trip. I was glad I did as the Diver Scallops from the Sea of Cortez were perfectly prepared. My husband's Filet Mignon Rolled in House Made Peppercorn Sand was outstanding.
On the third visit I couldn't resist my urge to order the Ramen Noodles again. What a disappointment. It was delivered with the egg already cooked and after the hot broth was poured over it the egg turned into a rubbery inedible mess. The lobster meat was overdone and rubbery as well.
My fourth trip may be my last. I'm having trouble staying excited about this restaurant. It's a shame because I was so looking forward to having Michael O'Dowd near my house instead of a day trip away. I ordered the two for $20 special which was a salad and pasta. The sauce was so thick it just glommed onto the pasta. My husband's Grouper "Fish Stix" tasted remarkably like halibut. Halibut is a fine fish but is not grouper. The dish was nothing to write home about even if it had been grouper. I have the feeling that the chef is not watching the pot and that the kitchen staff is getting by with murder. I hope he wakes up soon and gets them under control because they are making a mess of his creative food. It has the potential to be a great restaurant in an area that could use one.
