What a great way to end a weekend our in the Berkshires. 


For "brunch" I had this 

MOULES FRITES
cream, fine herbs, white wine, shallots
$13

The muscles were so delicious.  That creamy broth was out of this world. I would def recommend this if you travel out there any time soon. It came with a side of fries, but the scare amount of food on my Fiance's plate made me get some more!! 



Pommes Frites $5

ROASTED TROUT
haricots verts, olives, capers, 
cherry tomatoes, lemon
$14

I had a bite of this and thought it was a little bland... the fries helped carry more weight to the dish. If you combine all the items into one bite this is a great dish, or so I've heard... I rather eat my muscles...LOL

he wasn't too fond of it but ate it any way because we were hungry.


I would like to try this place for dinner next time I'm out there... maybe I will have another good dish, and My fiance will love his...

Out in the Berkshires, 

There Special Spicy Margarita Was the bomb.com

I don't recall the actual name, but I do remember it having bits of jalapenos and orange juice in it. A great first start to the dinner out in the Berkshires. 



Caipirinha 

This was my boo's drink... I thought it was a bit weak but he liked it. Nice and sweet and refreshing... makes you wish it were warmer outside and had time to sun gaze. 


Made to order and served in a stone molcajete. Includes tomato, onion, jalapeño, garlic, cilantro, lime, and salt. 
Quesadilla Vegetables 10
This Veggie Quesadilla was the bomb.com... I mean I can't remember the last time I went to an establishment and they made their own wraps and it tasting so good like this... I honestly wanted to skip my entree and get another order of this. 

You can't go wrong with well seasoned veggies and cheese to marry the ingredients all together. It's a match made in heaven. 



This was my second drink. I was the waiters choice and promised that I would like it.... he was wrong but I drank it anyway adding the jalapenos from the last drink to it and it knocked my socks off. I gave the suggestion to the bartender...and I guess they will ad it to the menu!



Ceviche Tropical $ 11.
Our fresh selection of fish and shrimp in lime and light red salsa

First time really having ceviche and I tell you this much, I am a firm believer of this stuff. It was so good I mean it felt like we were at sea and a little lime and avocado made the dish sing. Oh how I could go for some more now as I write this! 



Wild Salmon a la Veracruzana 25.
Sautéed with tomato, onions, garlic and jalapeño, served with field greens and rice

There were two salmon dishes... very misleading if I must say... One was wild.. which is my dish and the other al fuego....

I can tell you that the salmon was not wild...but it was delicious nonetheless and no complain except for the false notion of it being wild...  I loved the rice, and the tomatoes and the salad on top... I felt like I was at home with this plate of food. The chef knows what he is doing :) 





Salmon al Fuego $ 20.
Broiled marinated salmon on a bed of sautéed wild mushrooms, served over organic mesclun greens

This dish, which also had rice, was really nice. I couldn't decided which one I liked the best... so we shared both plates with one another. I could have done without the mushrooms...which is why he got that order and I got mine.... A must try.


Tres leche


This was a nice way to end the entire meal. Nice and juicy cake with fresh fruit and whipped cream all around it, yummerzzz



When I am back out there I will def try some other dishes and order the two apps again hands down! 

I wish they had other tropical items on the menu... because of the location they don't get plantains, and other items.... but it''s still worth a try. Go check them out you will not be disappointed!.

Lunch with friends 

First appetizer was this pretty cool rock shrimp tempura. I really liked it, thought that it was a great way to start off the lunch. Not the best I've ever had... but it does taste pretty good. 


Rock Shrimp Tempura


Shrimp Veggie Roll

This was hinted to me that it was super good... Well in my opinion... it was okay... but I could have done with out it. I liked the rock shrimp better. 






Salmon Teriyaki Lunch Bento

My bento box was cool... I opted to get the veggie rice because the picture looked so good... I ended up eating all the rice, shumai, and ginger and a little bit of the salmon,,, The salmon was pretty bland and I could not really understand why I chose this dish..


I hear this place has a really good happy hour... I might try it one day and see how that works out... till then I am still on the fence about this place.
