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!!

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!

Don Coqui ( Bday Dinner)

This was a cool experience 

What I liked the most is that they print a birthday menu for your table 

Each meal is all one price and you share a big platter of appetizers

Seafood Over Linguini 

Chicken Parm

Stuffed Snapper

This was my dish!

It was heaven in your mouth... Snapper is by far my favorite fish in the world 

Warm Bread 

Stuffed Calamari

These were excellent, I might try and make these at home one day :)

Pampano (Coupon)

Romance is in the air! Did somebody say Coupon and a great deal at that?? Well Here is one of the best Groupon Dates I've been on and most affordable one at that. 

What you get for 

• $59 for a three-course, upscale prix fixe Mexican dinner for two ($110 value)
• Includes Two apps, Two Entree's and Two Deserts
• Drinks not included....

SANGRIAS

MANGO PEACH 

vino blanco / peach schnapps / mango / peach

So this wasn't included, but we didn't care and ordered a pitcher. It wasn't strong but it was really tasty. I will try and make this at home for a party or something. So summery or Spring like.

 Small Pitcher 30

ENSALADA MIXTA 

mixed greens / jicama / avocado / mango / serrano pepper vinaigrette 13

This was one of the appetizers/ salads. I wonder what the real size is because of the price on the regular menu versus the groupon deal. Any who.... It was a tangy and appetizing salad. The jicama and the avocado was a really nice combo in this salad. I would def try this once again.

CAMARON 

shrimp / habanero sauce / cilantro / red onion 15

This is the second best Ceviche I've had being that it's my second time only having it. Really well flavored, I tasted like a passion fruit background with that awesome lime kick at the end. Very light and fresh flavors. I really enjoyed the big pieces, but not overly big. You could enjoy every ingredient in one bite. Very romantic!

ROBALO PLACIDO 

pan seared black sea bass / roasted tomato-chipotle enchilada / black bean tru e purée / plantain chutney 30

My entree was delicious. Very artsy and different. I never had something like this before. The Sea bass was nicly seasoned, and the veggies were all cooked well. What blew my mind was the drizzle of truffle oil and the enchilada woah! Amazing dish all together.

MARISCADA 

bay scallops / calamari / shrimp / octopus / cilantro rice / achiote coconut sauce / grilled pineapple 30

My boo's dish was equally as amazing. The RICE was out of this world. We need to try and recreate this at home at some point. All the seafood was cooked to perfection, and then the sauce, Omg I had to stop picking at his plate in order to finish mine, and when I was done with mine I wanted to eat more of his!

Helados 

y Nieves assorted gelato & sorbets

Caramel Gelato and Coconut Gelato

His desert was cool... Not much to elaborate on but that one was coconut and the other was caramel. 

CHOCOFLAN

dark chocolate / caramel flan / candied pecans / 10

This Flan was decadent to say the least. I had a really good time eating this. Very different, Only thing I wanted though was it to taste a little more that dulce de leche... but beggers can't be choosers. 

I feel as though another groupon here will do, regular price would be pushing it. From the looks of it, it's a date night place or an office happy hour spot. Either way, there needs to be an incentive like a cheaper meal to go back, with out that I wouldn't really press it.

ANDIAMO RESTAURANT

A perfect day came to a perfect night. After the Garrison cafe, I didn't know if we'd find another great spot and I was wrong!

Here we have the toasted bread with the house made oil concoction. The concoction was delicious. It had nothing but spicy herbs and vegetables, I wanted a bottle of that stuff. Luckily they kept bringing more delicious bread so I was good! 

The special appetizer for the night was a seared scallop with bok choy and garlic. It was out of this world. This is a picture of half of the Portion served. It's not enough for an appetizer to share, but we will be back for that!! The bok choy was seasoned really well and the scallops were cooked to perfection... Why tease us with such a small portion!!! Next time we know to order two of those!

Here's a salad that comes with the main entree's. It had blue cheese (not a fan) and a balsamic vinaigrette drizzled on it. I could have done without the salad. BF loved it.... 

to each is own I say

Red wine.. no I don't recall the name or the type... but it was a perfect glass to end a perfect day upstate New York. I can't wait to go back up there!!

Lobster Ravioli with Chardonnay wine sun-dried tomato cream…22.95 This was a really well executed lobster ravioli. Most places you can kind of taste if it was home made or not, and this place knocked it right out of the park for me. What I also liked was the chunks of lobster, they didn't shred it too much and add any fillers... Well worth a try I kid you not!!

This was a seafood pasta made on the fly... BF couldn't decide what he wanted, so the waiter suggested the chef make this. It was made really well... a little heavy on the garlic but still a really good fresh seafood dish. Couldn't ask for more.

We should have ended with desert but we were too full and had to head back to the city. All in All this was a great place to stumble upon. Great waiter, amazing food, and good prices. 

Go check them out if your in the area!!!

Ludlow Bistro First Day of Summer

Talk about a nice first day of Summer... and to end it off with seafood from a local restaurant... 

Lets begin with the table bread.. So warm and doughy ... My favorite combo in one bite!!! Ugh it was so good...

To go along with this Bread was a thin slice of butter, some olive oil I believe it was EVOO roasted garlic and a sprig of thyme. Need I say any more... spread this concoction on that warm bread and yes you have a happy camper!!!

Little Neck Baked Clams 

 whole and chopped clams, herb panko 

bread crumb

These little things here were so delicious. There were 6 but I was a bit too hungry to wait for the picture to be taken. Let me tell you! Sometimes baked clams have too much panko or breading on top.. but this one was super flavorful and not overwhelmingly "bready"... 

Crispy Calamari 

tossed with cherry pepper oil 

The marinara for these calamari was super fresh and  the batter on the calamari was light and didn't take away from the entire dish... I'm not sure if I'd run to these though again. 

Buffalo Chicken Gnocchi 

pulled spicy chicken, gorgonzola cream 

sauce, house made gnocchi

This dish was both a shocker and a treat at the same time. To label this as an appetizer is an understatement. I would Add more of the Gnocchi and Buffalo chicken and make it an entree. The Buffalo chicken was super flavorful, not spicy at all (might be because I'm used to much spicier food) the Gnocchi was soft, airy, creamy, herbaceous, and just too darn good .... My BF and I fought for the last bite... I let him win :) 

Here's another picture of this delicious dish!

Here is a shared seafood dish. I was super excited that we were able to share this dish because the beginning of this meal was packed with mouth watering flavors that I could not believe was hiding from me before!!!

Seafood Capellini 

shrimp, clams, calamari, white wine 

tomato broth

Just as the description explains... this dish doesn't fall short in flavor!!! 

I like this place for it's different take on modern cuisine. When I first came to this place and had their specialty pizza I was hooked... Wish some of the specialties made the menu for good... Oh well.. 

Hope you guys enjoyed this review! Till next time!

Anniversary dinner at Nicks Lobster Seafood Market

Living in Brooklyn, you pass a lot of places that you feel is a place to dine. 

With a view of the water and seconds from the highway who wouldn't want to try this place out.

Lobster pasta. This was an okay dish not the best lobster pasta dish I've had. It needed a little bit more of something, but it was edible. I shared it with my bf and he too thought it was missing something.  

I rarely eat crab legs and today I had an amazing time doing just that! They were inexpensive crab legs and the clarified butter was delicious!!!

My overall rating for this place is mixed. I was disappointed that the crab cakes were imitation crab. The seafood pasta wasn't the greatest, nor was the lobster pasta. However, I will give them another try!
