| - Upon arrival you have the option of sitting inside the restaurant or in the "cafe" area, which is the part in between the cafe and the mall. We chose the cafe area just because it was more happening and there was more people watching, haha. We were deathly tired from not sleeping the night before and day club (check out EBC!) so just wanted to grab a quick bite before continuing on to watch a show and then another night of clubbing. Here's what we shared:
Pineapple mojito - quite delicious
Some stirred drink with cucumber - SO GOOD! It tasted like sweetened cucumber juice. I was so surprised! It was really refreshing and yumm.
6 oysters on the half shell - ($22, 5 stars) - I forgot the name of the oysters they had that day, but they said it was a larger version of Kunamoto oysters (my fav!). They paired really well with the rhubarb mignonette.
Sauteed Maryland crab cake - ($16, 5 stars) - They were just how I like them - lump crab meat, lightly breaded, and served with a lemon garlic aioli.
Pan seared duck breast - ($37, 4 stars) - I LOVED the mushrooms, stewed cabbage, and mashed white corn they paired it with, but the duck breast itself was OK. I thought it had a cured taste to it, instead of the usual gamey flavor, but the boy thought it tasted like bacon. We asked for it medium/medium-rare and that was spot on.
