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!!

Harlem tavern

Jalepeno Mac n cheese was the bomb. com.... It looks small but it's plenty big.. the picture does not justify the awesomeness this dish has... I need to replicate this dish at home 

The calamari was okay... I could have done without it....

My friend had the mushroom Mac n cheese and she too loved it... 

I would go back for the drinks as well as try other dishes (and get my mac n cheese to go so I can indulge like the skinny fat girl that I am) LOL

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....

Harlem at fifth (Coupon)

$40 or $80 to Spend at Harlem on Fifth Bar & Grill Harlem on Fifth Bar & Grill

What a great Coupon to utilize in an interesting location. At first I was a little skeptical because I rather coupons that have a set amount of items to choose from but that defeats the purpose of trying new things I guess, Any who ( no more rambling) I really enjoyed my time here with my boo and let me show you why!!

This is one side of their draft beer selection, and being a beer lover, I was able to select all of the lovely beers they has on tap and enjoyed!

TASTING STROLL ON 5TH

5 oz SAMPLING OF OUR SIX CRAFT BEERS$14.95

My Favorite Beers would have to be the Speakeasy, Harlem At fifth (hahahaha), and the Nutty neighbor. The drinks are lined up just the way they are listed, and taste oh so good. 

RIESLING DR. HANS VON MULLER 2011

fruity aroma and semi-dry finish. Mosel, Germany

My boo had a few glasses of this really light and crisp wine. It was a good choice with the meal we had. 

 

Here is a a side of some veggies to indulge in. 

LEMON GLAZED SALMON

lemon, butter, white wine, herbs$22

CANDIED YAMS and Rice on the Side

This dish was interestingly good, but we were advised to get the teriyaki, and I wish we did. The Salmon needed a little Umph or something. It lacked something on int he seasoning but it was edible. 

GRILLED SHRIMP MAC-N-CHEESE

shrimp, cilantro, parsley$12

This was a a cool dish, I wasn't too fond of it. I rather the Crab instead, more flavorful and delicious!!!

BLUE CRAB MAC-N-CHEESE

crab, parsley, panko bread crumbs$12

Here's what I really enjoyed!!!!

The bits and pieces of the blue crab and the mac and cheese here was a real treat! I really enjoyed this a lot

I would highly suggest going here! The staff is great, the food is good/great depending on what flavor you choose lol... All in all a great dinner was had here!

Silvias not so happy hour

A not so happy happy hour here at Silvias.... let's cut to the chase in simple yet detailed descriptions of each ordered dish.

The best thing that hit the table besides the wine was the corn bread. What can I say.... Can you really mess up cornbread????

(Don't answer that)

The Salmon cakes.... Well these left little to the imagination of how good they would taste. I expected so much more from this place. The cakes were dry, flavorless... if i wasn't hungry I'd walk right out for this dish here alone.....

Here's a picture of all the sides:

The Rice: White rice very bland and lacked luster

The MAC AND CHEESE:

I thought the Salmon cakes were bad... I HAD TO ADD SALT to the mac and cheese, and the cheese was barely melted on the dish... coagulated cheese is a HUGE No No in my book of mac

And the collard Greens

This I did not try because I was already mad at the first few things...

The cat Fish was actually okay but still needed some type of life to them. I added pepper and salt. 

Now the lack there of in regards to the happy hour was the biggest turn off. The waiter had no idea what was on special and then came back and said that only the resling was on special. All other drinks were pretty high in price. So we settle for them and they were pretty okay. 

I would not be going back to this place. Well maybe in a year or so... I was really disappointed at this place because I thought they had some type of potential... Oh well Till next time

Beer Authority Lunch

Lunch at Beer Authority just got better!!! They now have a lunch special where you can get a burger, sandwich and at the fixing and a drink for only $10, Now I don't eat meat so here's what I had!!

This delicious grandma personal pizza was only $12. I really really loved the real fresh taste I got when I tried it for lunch. I could not finish this massive amount of food but I did bring it home and enjoyed it even more!! How's that possible right? Well it was freaking fresh that's why.

I also ordered, like the glutton that I am, a side of Mac and Cheese. not only Is this the BEST mac in cheese in the area... IT"S ONLY $5. When you get the entree it's a bit pricey for the amount you get but the side order is just the right amount of goodness to satisfy any cheese lovers craving!!!

I would DEFINITELY recommend this place for lunch or even happy hour! Great bartender and awesome food to enjoy. 

P.S. The sandwich on the side was my friends,... forgot to ask if he liked, but he inhaled it faster then I could finish the bowl of mac so I guess that answered my question.....

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!!
