Bonefish grill

Complementary Bread and herb oil...
The service here was subpar... (at the bar of all places..which made me mad) How ever, we finally got this with our drinks from a better bartender.

Lobster Crab & Artichoke Dip 

Sweet lobster and lump crab with artichoke, mozzarella and Fontina cheese, lobster sour cream, served with seasoned housemade tortilla chips

This was good, but it needed something, ike maybe salt or something.. outside of that it was good.

Bang Bang Shrimp   

Crispy, tossed in a creamy, spicy sauce.

This came out kind of cold.. We were trying to figure out why people raved about this... I wouldn't get it again.

Misoyaki Sea Bass 

Grilled over oak, then topped with misoyaki marinade & pickle ginger relish, on a bed of sautéed spinach, mushrooms, jasmine rice

This was a really nice dish... It's something I would make at home, I might come back for this if they have it as a special again.

White Truffle Mac & Cheese 

This was okay.. could not really taste the truffle, it didn't have a flavor really, it just looked really god coming out, but not going in....

Fresh Swordfish & Pumpkin Ravioli 

Wood-grilled Swordfish with seasonal pumpkin ravioli, topped with crispy onions, crumbled feta and a hint of butter, complimented with a side of french green beans

My husband did not like this dish at all... it needed some type of love or something to it in order to make it taste even remotely good.

Our Drinks tonight were:

Signature Red or White Sangria

choice of Blackberry Red or Sparkling Mango White

We would go back, but nothing made us want to rush here before any other dinner possible night!!

Vivo Groupon

This Groupon sounded like a regular old Groupon.... But boy oh BOY did we get an amazing surprise.

As you can see I could Barely get the full photo of this without missing a few pieces of bread!! That dip was beyond belief... Sun dried tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and a whole bunch of herbs and spices according to the waiter.... I will try to recreate this soon as well!!!

Peach Sangria... We had two of these and after the night was over, we had to walk around the bloc to ensure we were sober enough to get home LOL

Vieiras

Seared scallops, cinnamon, aioli, paprika oil, potato comfit, romesco

This right here was really good.. I can make this at home, What shocked me was when My hubby ate all the onions... Hats off the the chef!

Salmon con Spinacas

Seared salmon with sautéed spinach, bechamel & white truffle oil

This Salmon was to die for... If this place wasn't so far, I'd go back for this and a glass of wine... the portion was good for sharing, but even better if you wanted it for yourself.... I would love to recreate this dish at home soon!

Paella Valenciana

Lobster tail, shrimp, clams, mussels, chicken, chorizo, sofrito, saffron rice

This is the Paella for two... We got the seafood one of course and I must say, In all my life eating Paella and not really enjoying it, this was by far the BEST paella I ever had.... The flavors and portions of everything was just phenomenal. . The rice was not too soggy, the sauce and seafood were cooked to perfection, not over cooked... I mean OMG was this great...

Crema CatalanaHomemade custard topped with crystallized sugar

Desert was beyond amazing!!! My hubby usually does not like creme brule but the waiter insisted that we try it and oh my was it worth out wild!!

I wish We could take the chef home with us!!

I would definetly recommend this place!! I am actually going to buy another Groupon TODAY!!!

Sabor peru

Grilled octopus. 

The dipping sauce that came with this marinated grilled octopus was breath taking... I hate it when I get a dish and I want to cry because it's so DAMN good. I have never and will never have such a high standard to this type of dish in my life ever... This is a must Try!!!

Whole Fried Snapper with other seafood and veggies.

If you never had Peruvian food before, you are doing your self a GREAT disservice. I mean the portions, the flavors, the love that is put into any and every dish is Knock your socks off Delicious. 

This dish right here is a one person serving, but could easily feed two or three depending on what else you order. I mean OMG  I have no words... just go and visit this place immediately!!

You already know I'm going to say go try this Place... make sure to make a reservation and check what  day's they are open.

Black and Blue Seafood Chophouse (Groupon)

My Favorite Person in the World's Birthday Dinner Part 2

Below I could not recall the drinks shown, I do know that the one with the Pineapple was to die for!!!!

Can't really explain the taste, but i can only advise that I will make another appearance when I am in the area for happy hour! 

Crispy Thai Style Calamari

Scallions, Cilantro, Peanuts, Sesame Seeds, Sweet Red Chile

These Calamari's were really good, I think one of the best ones we've had in a really long time. 

Lobster Mac N Cheese 

This right here was an order to compliment our entree's. Holy cow it was rich in flavor and heavy at the same time

We could not eat the whole thing because it would kill out appetite for the entree's 

Lobster Crusted Salmon

I thought this dish was so good I was willing to give it to my  Fiance 

That is how good it was... I was not too fond of his dish and though that he deserved what I got!

The salmon was cooked to perfection, it had fingerlings on the bottom with truffle butter sauce... OMG what a MAZING

I will Def try and make this at home one day 

Sea Food Fra Diablo 

This was the Bday boy's dish which I thought was okay at best....

I would like to go here for happy hour to see what it's like!

Lavo NYC

A few gals and I hit the town for my cousin's bday. She wanted Italian, I have no issues with Italian. Especially if it's at Lavo!!!

Huge chicken Parmesan the size of two heads was split amongst two hungry woman. I had a bite or two and I was amazed how good it was. Usually Chicken parm is just chicken parm... The sauce and cheese were so fresh it was worth another bite... and another....

 

Best Seafood Pasta in the world (until I make one!)

This is the sole reason I agreed to going out (shhh don't tell anyone) The first time I had this dish I dream t about it for a year! Then when it was mentioned again I quickly jumped to the occasion and got dressed three hours before dinner like a panting dog.  The sauce is seasoned so well... pasta really aldente and the seafood was really decadent...and you can SEE THEM!

 

 

Meaty Asparagus 

I love vegetables... especially asparagus. They had really meaty asparagus and it was seasoned to perfection. Looking at these pictures is making me hungry....

 

 

Penne AL a vodka!!!!!

I tried this as well. Although the eater wasn't too fond of having an al-dente dish... I thought the sauce was really good. So did everyone else who tried it. 

 

 

Chicken Penne Alfredo! 

This was not your run in the mil Alfredo sauce. It had some pzazz  to it. The chicken too was seasoned really well with fresh ingredients.

 

 

Pan seared Red Snapper!!!

The birthday girl had a pan seared res snapper. From the small bite that I had... I could tell she really enjoyed it. Only issue was that it didn't really come with any sides that she liked. 

 

 

Happy Birthday Strawberry Short Cake  

There were two of these at the table!!!! I think that explains how  good this was!

 

I def recommend this place for many occasions!!! The food is good and the staff is great as well!!
