Lobster tails @ Fernandez Steakhouse

Company Dinner!!!

Rabo de Lagosta (16oz) Grelhado

Grilled Lobster Tail (16oz)

This has got to be one of the freshest Lobster tails I've ever had in my life.

The Rice was delicious, the Clarified butter was amazing and the home fried potato chips were out of this world!!!

The veggies tasted like they came from a fresh garden, I mean common it was just an excellent dish

My co-workers ate all of the Meat that was passed around. I can't vouch for any of it but they looked good. The place got packed really quickly!

I would Highly recommend this place to any one for any occasion!!!

Zinc bistro

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...

Cove Lounge (Happy Hour Time!)

What an amazing Happy hour with the booski!!! 

Lets jump right in...

LOBSTER ROLL

$18

Fresh Lobster served on a warm Garlic Bun with Truffle Fries

The Lobster roll was really really good. I really enjoyed the truffles fries the most though. Something about their seasoned fries just feels comforting and the hint of truffle oil in the background just make it go over the top. The lobster roll had enough veggies in it. Nice light mayo flavor, full lobster taste. The bread was a potato bread and it did not over power the whole dish. I would get this again. (oh we shared this dish...You'll see why)

The happy hour wine are all the house wines you find on sale at your local wine shop. That didn't bother me, I was also happy that the bartender had us finish the bottle at no extra cost for the happy hour!!! LUSH.COM Yes I AM

SPICED FRIES

$7

Crispy home fries seasoned with Cove Special Spice Blend

The spiced fries are heavenly, so heavenly we ordered two of them one for me one for him. Something in the spice in unforgettable, it's also fried well, every fry is edible, nothing goes to waste in that basket...that's all I have to say. 

This is the red wine I got. The rest of the bottle was emptied out by me and I was extremely happy about that!!

CRAB RANGOONS

$12

with Honey Sesame Sauce and Spicy Szechuan Sauce

These Crab Rangoons are ridiculous, another dish that is ordered in twos. On the Happy hour menu they are half priced, which makes it easier to buy more. The filling is pure crab meat and cream cheese. The wontons are fried correctly and they are not greasy at all, that's a major plus. The sauce on top gives off the perfect balance of sweet to the dish. Your mouth will go through a sweet, fried, savory roller coaster in a matter of 3 seconds, and you will want that over and over again. 

This was a shocker drink ( compliments from the bartender) who understood from my first visit that I love whiskey. He made a old fashion with egg white. Boy was this drink STRONG and good at the same time. Now don't get me wrong... I still  feel a way about the egg whites, but I made my boo drink most of it >.< hahahahaha. Other then that, this would have to be a winterish drink if anything. 

                        LOBSTER MAC N' CHEESE

                             Creamy mac n' cheese layered with tender fresh Lobster

The lobster mac and cheese was super different from what I've been used to. The bechmel sauce was super flavorful and smooth. The lobster is cut up a little to small for me, but the lobster roll made up for all of that. I would def recommend this dish for sharing or even for your self!!

This is an awesome low key place. Great vibe, awesome staff, and great food to accommodate. If your in the Harlem area I would def check them out. 

Until next time!!

Atomic Wings Lunch

Atomic Wings!!!

Yes another wing joint besides Bon Chon!!!

I would def come back here for lunch again!!! And here is why...

My co-worker was a bit skeptical about the sauces because she is an extremely picky eater but I had to convince her that this place was worth a try.

Here she had the Garlic Parmesean wings... I had one and Yes they were good. I turned my head once and then back again and she was finished. She didn't like the fries... neither do I unless they had cheese on it for the lunch special...

The wings remind me of an Italian wing on crack... I'd get these wings next time I go

Here's what I ordered. Of course I'm not into the waffle fries because they don't come with cheese so I opted for the Sweet Potato... can't go wrong with that!!

I also went for the Thai chili wings.. Oh how good they were... 

What also went well with my lunch was the photo of the beer in this picture... two beers for 6 bucks all day!! Yes I was pleased... 

I'm a Carb junkie so I also ordered the Mac and cheese and it was delicious... It was lacking in a little salt.. but hey, there was salt, pepper and ketchup on the table and I went to town on this dish!!! 

I would def recommend this place, for the food, the laid back ambiance and the service... Yes you must try this place... like all of the other review boards have said to do!!

STK Steak House Restaurant Week Lunch

Lets talk about steak deals for just under $25 on a normal day... right... unheard of... So why am I super excited about this one? Well it starts of with the amazing restaurant week deals that goes on twice a year in New York. You have a bunch of these great places that offers lunch for as low at $25 for a three course meal and dinner for $38

Here we have the bread you usually get at a steak house. I was amazed by how the bread pulled apart. I immediately tried to figure out how it was made. I like the pesto like oil on the side as well!

I never ate a salad with a fork and knife before, and thought that this was interesting. The dressing was really good, and I liked the home made feel the croutons had. 

These frites were awesome. Nice bite to them, not too salty and paired really well with the steak!!!

I love skirt steak. I also liked the sauce that accompanies the dish. What can I say, it was good. Would I pay retail value for it... no... I'm glad that restaurant week has a deal like this for the experience.  

I would recommend this place for their ambiance and presentation. I'd like to go back and try another steak...

Reserve Thai (friends BDAY dinner)

I know you guys know I love me some Thai food. However, I enjoy eating Thai with this birthday girl! For lunch maybe 2 times a week minimum, and we indulge our selves with anything Thai related, with a few Thai Ice teas to accompany our meals all the time. 

For her BDAY we went to Reserve on 3rd ave. My BF and I were there first and was already happy with the Wine happy hour they had till 8. The menu options were a bit different from normal Thai restaurants and we wanted to try them out!

Here we have Curry Puffs.... if you indulge in Thai food you would know that these are pillows of heaven. The cucumber sauce that accompanied it was light and decadent I wanted another order... 

The calamari was just how I like them. Lightly breaded and the two sauces on the side were the Bombbay (my bf's fave word) One was a spicy aoli and the other was the traditional sweet and spicy sauce. Both sauces were excellent!

Chive pancakes are made differently at all Thai places. Sometimes they are flat, square, thicker thinner... today we had the bun shaped ones and they were really good. A bit doughy for some, but perfect for me!!!

Something you don't see everyday is french fries and Thai in the same sentence. They accompanied these thick cute spuds with the same sauces as the calamari... and to think... I should have thought of that!!!! It was really really good!

Finally for the entree.... My BF never had chicken Panang so we both ordered the same dish. He really enjoyed it and so did I. I love the spicy creamy sauce and the tender chicken accompanied by the various vegetables in the plate. A honestly big win for me!

Along side with our happy hour wine.. we shared a bottle of this really sweet German wine. Highly favored among the table as well as the birthday girl. It was truly a really good night. 

With all that food plus 8 other dishes, we only spent under $30 each plus tax and tip. Now tell me that wasn't a great meal plus a cheap one at that!

I am already looking for a date in my calender where i can have this experience again!

Happy birthday to my friend again!

Bourbon Street!!! (dinner with a friend)

Pecan Pie!! 

The holy grail of deserts is right here!!!  Thank God my friend shared her desert with me!!!  I would definitely recommend this one here!! 

The appetizer platter!!!  Here are the to die for chicken fingers encrusted with corn flakes and other goodness. The fries have melted cheese, they come with bacon but I omitted them. The Calamari was super delicious without the sauce!!!  I will definitely get this whole thing for myself again!!! 

Wednesday happy hour special are always changing. Unfortunately thy make dishes that you want again and again!!! For $5 I got this homemade gnocchi with shrimp in a Cajun sauce. Omg it was good!!!  If I didn't have the appetizer sampler I would have ordered a few more!!! 

This drink right here is amazing! The hurricane is the main reason to visit Bourbon street!! At $5 a pop all day till 8 you have got to get your hands on one of these bad boys. 

I see myself frequenting this place often. But don't just take my word for it! You must go there and try it out yourself!

Happy eating!!!

Piquant Brunch

PIQUANT BRUNCH OH LALA

i can't get away from this place even if I tried. the staff is great and the food is even better! So my cousin and i decided to see what their brunch was like!

 Here we have an awesome pink sangria. OMG was it good. I tried two but I think this one was my favorite!

 

The omlete was on point. You get to choose from a list of ingredients what you want, the home fries were great and that side salad had a nice light vinaigrette to it. Great way to start any day!

 

My cousin had the chicken sandwich.She too was satisfied with her meal. The chicken was seasoned well, and the fries had the perfect texture to them (I kept stealing a few after I finished my plate)

 

As if we weren't full from the above few things, we ordered a cheese cake. It was pretty good, no complaints, I mean could you really mess up a cheese cake though? 

 

Here is the other sangria I was talking about. It was good, and I love red wine, but the rosay wine kind of had me speech less.You try both and decide which one you like most!

 

Like I've said before, this place is great! go down there if you happen to be in the area and try their awesome food!

Happy Hour at Ruth's Chris :)

Hey Lovely people, I come to you with another happy hour adventure. Below is a picture of the menu. I was excited to go here because the happy hour is to die for. I was also excited to be with one of my good friends. She was really happy to leave work to come here for lunch!!!

Her Drink with her fashionably extended pinky was the pomegranate martini. The bartender swore it would be sweet but it was pretty tart if you ask me. It was good but nothing compared to MY drink!!!!.

Which was a Moscow Mule!!!. It had candy ginger, ginger alcohol and a splash of seltzer. It was really strong ^.^ my kind of drink!.

We've been here before and wanted to stick to our original burgers and fries, but when I saw the word lobster I went head over heals especially because I saw it was only $8!. We got the Spicy Lobster and let me tell you, it was so succulent that I bit the fork twice. Luckily the portions were divided or my friend wouldn't have gotten any LOL.

 

The Star of the place has to be the mini burgers. I love how fresh and tasty they are. I kid you not you don't need ketchup or cheese. They are seasoned perfectly. The bun is the right texture. I want some now speaking about it :( And the fries. They are the king of fries. Well seasoned, crunchy and soft in the middle. Not greasy but you know they were fried. It's just excellent!. 

 

I hope you guys try Ruth Chris for happy hour. It is a must try. Trust  me you wont regret going!!!!

Fish Market (CLOSED)

OMG I fell in love with this place and dreamed of the day I would go back and I did. This place is located in South Street Seaport before the docking area on you left. I could not find a website but I did find a couple Yelp-rs recommending this place like I am. 

Below we have my favorite thing that I was introduced to. I love ribs but these were ridiculously delicious that I ordered another one.... and I was not ashamed!. It's called Guinness_______ribs. That's how I describe it.  The fries are fresh, they don't taste like they were frozen, and the vegetables are seasons perfectly. And it's not with just salt and pepper. I taste a little cumin or something in there. 

Now why would someone go to a "Fish Market" and order ribs you might ask... Well We all know that the seas food would be great for crying out loud it's by the water. But what you don't expect is for the other dishes to be as decadent and rich in flavor. I would never try the ordinary culinary decisions at a restaurant because it's part of the norm. I like to dive into something extraordinary and be surprised. I have yet to be disappointed!

If your ever in the area I highly recommend trying this. You will not be disappointed. And for the gamers out there I believe on Tuesdays you are aloud to bring in your consoles and play other gamers alike. Till then happy eating!
