This was a first-time visit for my wife, my mother-in-law and me. We like to eat healthy, and there are plenty of menu options to do that.
But tonight we let down our collective guards a little bit to sample a wider variety of what...the kitchen can make.
We shared three dishes among us, and were very satisfied. We left only a couple of bites worth of food on the plates when we reached our capacity.
Talking about the dishes, the seafood ceviche was outstanding. A large serving with big chunks of seafood with diced veggies in a light and refreshing sauce, this dish was both a flavour monster and a great amuse-bouche to refresh the palate after tastes of our other two dishes.
The seafood cau cau was like a seafood stew in a thick beige sauce, served on a plate beside a mound of white rice. The flavour was mild and represented a mixture of spices that none of us had tasted before.
We were “bad” with our third dish, the fried seafood platter for two. We were bad, but the dish was good, very, very good.
As you can see from the photo, it is a mountainous pile of lightly fried clams, mussels, calamari, shrimp and fish served over a bed of fried plantain, coupled with a light, Green Goddess-like dipping sauce. What a treat!
The service was pleasant. The decor was uninspiring.
But the food made us commit to return visits.More
